Street thug Riko has some serious issues—memories wiped, reputation tanked, girlfriend turned into a tech-fueled zombie. And the only people who can help are the mercenaries who think she screwed them over.

In an apathetic society devoid of ethics or regulation, where fusing tech and flesh can mean a killing edge or a killer conversion, a massive conspiracy is unfolding that will alter the course of the human condition forever. With corporate meatheads on her ass and a necro-tech blight between her and salvation, Riko is going to have to fight meaner, work smarter, and push harder than she’s ever had to. And that’s just to make it through the day.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Unapologetically brutal cyberpunk.
    Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    Riko is one foul-mouthed, crass, rage-filled badass. If you like that sort of character, you'll love this book. She makes no apologies for who and what she is and no effort to be anyone else. Often that causes as many problems for Riko as it solves.

    Be warned: this is the first book in a series, and a lot of questions won't be answered by the end. Riko makes progress on her goals, and kicks a lot of ass along the way, but this is only one step on the path to solving the big mysteries. I had no problem with this being a setup for more story, as the implications of what Riko discovers seem way too big for one book. However, if you're the type of person to demand a bow tied on everything by the end of a book, you'll be frustrated.

    I'm most impressed with her action scenes. The final climax mission of the story was back-to-back firefights and gore, but she managed to keep it from getting overwhelming or repetitive. Hard to maintain good roller coaster pacing with something like that, but she did it.

    I'm looking forward to reading the next book, Nanoshock.

    3.0 out of 5 stars It's alright, will probably read sequel.
    Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    The setting is a particularly depressing view of a corporate distopia with no end in sight, mixed with ample high tech touches.

    I had a hard time getting into the book because of the point of view, and the exposition heavy first chapters. The first person perspective was OK, but in some sections of heavy action it was hard to follow what was going on
    That said, I like the characters and the set up this provides for the series and I'm going to give the sequel a shot. The story is small in scope, having a very personal perspective, which I don't read often, so in that sense it's refreshing.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Cyberpunk, Sci-Fi, or Wendig fans - Buy it and enjoy the ride
    Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    I've never read a cyberpunk novel before - nothing against the genre, but I've been more Joe Abercrombie grimdark or Stephen Blackmoore or Kevin Hearne urban fantasy as a general rule. And yes, I recognize those are two completely different tones of UF, but you get my drift.
    But I love strong female characters, and I trust the judgment of Chuck Wendig, who referenced this novel in his Twitter.
    Necrotech was well worth the price of admission.
    I'm not one for spoilers in on-site reviews, but I'll give a couple of quick thoughts -
    Riko goes from obnoxiously selfish and enjoyably snarky to...tolerably selfish and enjoyably snarky - her voice develops throughout the novel as she grows as a character, something that often doesn't happen in first person writing. Characters' decisions may change, but it isn't always conveyed in the pacing of the character's thoughts and their tone - it's just the same voice applying better logic. K.C. Alexander does a great job managing Riko's character.
    Riko and her often terrible decision-making are tremendous fun, and it did what a Book 1 should: provided a satisfying conclusion for the moment, but also left me annoyed that I couldn't immediately pay for and download Book 2.

    I came here from the Big Idea on Scalzi's Whatever blog, and I'm glad I bought it. I enjoyed this story very much. The author has a really interesting plot line, interesting characters, it is well written and I'm looking forward to reading more. Biggest downside for me was offensive language, which is WAY offensive language, and a little too in your face for me. Which is, in part, I know, the point--the hero is very damaged, believes in hit before you get hit and lives that a strong offense is the best defense. Definitely worth a read.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Riko's story will snag you harder than a grappling hook attached to a fighter jet.
    Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2016

    If you're looking for a colossal book that supersedes generic fiction labels, then look no further than Necrotech by K.C. Alexander. I had no idea who K.C. was and had no knowledge of any of the books she's previously written, but was intrigued enough prior to Necrotech's release to do some worthwhile internet stalking. Definitely have fallen in love (or lust?) with her writing style! With Kevin's personal review on the cover below that of Chuck Wendig's, I was more than encouraged and excited to start reading.

    And K.C. did not disappoint.

    Necrotech is set in a futuristic society reminiscent of Cowboy Bebop distilled with scum injections of Judge Dredd, 1984 by George Orwell, and Omega of Mass Effect. From synthetic drugs to heads' up display ads to genetic enhancements and registered SIN codes for all, K.C. has constructed a world of "what if's" that very well represents where Earth and humanity as a whole today might end up dependent upon the technological and moral choices we make tomorrow. The Mecca is any bounty hunter's haven, with the rest of the city from its slums to the more privileged sectors displaying the social spectrum that the government has finally gone corrupt to a point of no return. What really drew me in, however, was beyond the intricately built world and all of its small details that weave together the believable backdrop for our protagonist's story - it was the violent protagonist herself.

    Riko is the no-effs-given, sick neon ink for days, ass-kicking splatter specialist that could only be compared to the likes of Tank Girl or Trevor Philips of GTA. A fierce and vicious protagonist, she only occasionally comes off as the devil may care type, and the rest of the time she's too busy getting to the bottom of the shit-storm she's in to think twice about anything outside of rebuilding her reputation or bringing her girlfriend's killers to their graves. Along with a slew of calculating and bodacious friends, foes, and every flavor of acquaintances in between, K.C.'s first book of Riko's story will snag you harder than a grappling hook attached to a fighter jet.

    The trials and tribulations Riko gets pulled into are so thought-provoking that I was instantly more enthralled with each page read, and when I came to the last one I wanted to flip over a desk because I was so engaged and invested in Riko's journey that I didn't want to wait for the release of her second installment of the series.

    Job well done K.C. - go write more books for you!

    Cyberpunk, well, it's a bit of a niche taste these days. Retrofuturism. If I'd caught this 20-something years back it could have been a formative experience - a heartbusting genretwisting adventure in the vein of GAEffinger or the Dryco novels of Jack Womack. It's got the energy, the sincerity, the soul.... It's just a bit too late. If you're in the mood for cyberpunk, though, this does it full well.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A Brutal Kick in the Teeth of a Novel
    Reviewed in Australia on January 7, 2019
    Verified Purchase
    Old school cyberpunk with a truly fresh voice, Necrotech was a terrific read. As noted in plenty of other reviews, and on the front cover, the action is nonstop, brutal and a lot of fun. I’m usually not a fan of first person narrators that swear and ramble like they’re telling the story at a pub half-drunk but Alexander kind of makes it work.
    The character development is terrific, even if the narrator seems to be actively fighting against becoming anything more than two-dimensional because in her world it’s just a hell of a lot easier to live that way. My favourite aspect though was the world building, lots of little moments, or walls of text, that fleshed out a terrific environment with plenty more to explore in other books.
    One star off because the writing is a bit dense, not a problem within itself, and especially toward the end there are sections where the narration just seems to be repeating the same things over and over again in different ways. On top of that…
    (MINOR SPOILER)…
    … Necrotech starts off with a beautifully pure kind of mystery, the main character wakes up in a strange place, no memory of what’s been done to her. But instead of resolving it we’re left with a sequel hook. I was already planning on buying the second book by that point but it was a bit obnoxious.
