Classic cyberpunk told in a fresh way

Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2023

Verified Purchase

I love nothing more than a good cyberpunk story and Cyberpunk City by D.L. Young did not disappoint!
We follow Blackburn Maddox a former hacker and now corporate security expert who has been hired by the CEO of the company to retrieve some crucial data stolen from them. Sounds like an easy job, something he had done a thousand times in his former life as a hacker.
But, of course, things are not as they seem and Maddox stumbles into a huge conspiracy and an invisible war of super AIs...
Cyberpunk City is a short, fast-paced book that flew by when I read it and left me wanting more.
The author uses many common cyberpunk tropes yet in a charming way. While many authors try to copy Neuromancer, D.L. Young's book could be almost called an hommage to Gibson, the old master of the craft.
There are hackers, mega-corporations, cyborgs, AIs, anarchistic bikers and more. And then there's the city itself, which isn't quite dystopian but not a cozy place to live either.
What I liked most was the main character, Maddox. He's a grumpy, broody guy who smokes way too many cigarettes. His ex ran away with an AI (kinda, it's more complicated than that) and now he just wants live a simple corporate life, get laid and smoke more cigarettes. He's everything but amused that he suddenly ends up in the center of a conspiracy.
D.L. Young is certainly a pro and contrary to many indie authors, he knows exactly what he's doing. His prose is crisp and the story is well-plotted. It clearly shows that this is just the first chapter of a much bigger story.
Although the book ends with a satisfying conclusion, it leaves enough mystery and open questions to make me want to read more. I already have books 2 and 3 on my Kindle and hope to get to them soon.
I recommend this book to all cyberpunk fans who love the old-school tropes shown in a new way.

Perfect to scratch that Cyberpunk itch

Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2022

Having been bitten by the Cyberpunk bug thanks to recently finishing Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, I set off to find Cyberpunk-themed books to keep feeding the neon-laden best. And in that search I came across Cyberpunk City. This is a tight, fast-paced, well-written story that has characters you'll love and hate, wrapping up in a dystopian futuristic city where life is cheap and violence is plentiful. I thoroughly enjoyed the story and am looking forward to seeing what comes next from this series.

Checks all the boxes

Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2022

Verified Purchase

This book had pretty much everything that I look for in a cyberpunk novel. Sufficiently techno-gritty backdrop, plausible extrapolation of the state of the world, savvy sort of anti-hero, buttkicking whirlwind partner in exploits, and comic relief sidekick. Engaging story, and a bit of a different look into corporate warfare. Again, the question of why don’t they build an off switch into these things is begged, but as AI and expert systems improve, they are likely to reach the point where only they understand themselves. Looking forward to the next in the series.

It started slow as the author built the world which I really liked. The basic story premise is interesting and a fun read. This is a good example of the genre.

Fun Cyber-punk.

Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2022

This book1 is well choreographed and written. It is simple unsophisticated stuff but it fills the vacuum left by William Gibson's lack of productivity. The rest of the books are not as good but I read them anyway.

Fast Paced, Mind-bending Page Turner. Really Hard to Put Down.

Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2020

Verified Purchase

I'd enjoyed the first series of books (The Dark Republic), and was excited to start this new series. I was a little un-prepared for how fast the book grabbed my attention, how much it engaged my imagination, and how quickly I was drawn to some characters and frustrated by others. The story plunged me into a futuristic world just connected enough to our own current one for me to follow how we might have gotten there. Right off the bat the story takes several twists and turns that kept me off guard; each surprise cementing my position on some characters, and also making me wonder whether I had judged others fairly. It’s definitely a wild ride. I don’t want to give anything away, but I am extremely eager for the rest of the series to be released (or at least the next one… come on Mr DL Young!!!!). Definitely 5 stars.

A fast paced, action thrill ride!

Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2021

Verified Purchase

This was a different read for me. Burnt out and tired from the oversaturation within my familiar and abiding love for the fantasy genre, I decided to start reading something else for a change, and D.L Young does not disappoint. Vivid descriptions, fast paced and to the point action. An absolute thrill ride!

This e-book is a very solid cyberpunk fantasy as the title suggests. I liked this first book of the series a lot. The characters were good and I dug the descriptive action scenes. I am quick shifting into the next book without a blink!

Serviceable cyberpunk book

Reviewed in Japan on April 24, 2023

Verified Purchase

The story is a bit simple and rather linear, with interesting visual hacking.

It is well written but nothing really extraordinary or standing out emerges.

I won't be buying the next books in the series but can appreciate that some people will.

The cage

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 23, 2021

Verified Purchase

Really enjoyed this book. I have to say I was a bit surprised because as I was expecting this to be a comic rather than a novel. I can more than live with that as I really liked the story. A great begining to the series.

The world of Cyberpunk is what I was expecting. Virtual Space, flying/hover cars and corporations controlling the world. The usual big divide between the haves and have nots.

A datajacker/hacker had a chance to turn his life around. He took it. Now he is pull back into a world he had left behind. This will force him to visit ghosts of his past and as well as fight for is survival his only allies are his crew forced upon him. They will need to choose a side in a war they did not even know was going on, with neither side having their best interests at heart.

A great book and excellent start to this series. This book focused on Blackburn Maddox, as it should, but the supporting characters are also ver interesting. I am looking to finding out more about the surviving cast, as well as what is next for them.

Books 1-5, a fantastic series

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 6, 2022

Verified Purchase

These books are quite on the nose for the genre, but when you've got a cyberpunk hyperfixation that's exactly what you want! And they didn't disappoint, the story is great and the characters are relatable and fleshed out. Not a weak link in the series either like so many others, all 5 books were so fun to read. Definitely recommend reading them.

I read the Stone Vault Datajack not too long ago, and as soon as I finished it I had to order this book. Young has created an absolutely fascinating character in Blackburn Maddox, and the world around him is brimming with wonder and intrigue.

This book was a great read, travelling at 100 mph non stop from start to finish. I enjoyed it a lot, and can't wait to read the next in the series.

A great fun, action packed book. An "old school" cyberpunk story that is well written and very enjoyable. Takes me back to the glory days of cyberpunk books by Shirley, Effinger and Gibson.
