Great find breck. I actually tend to like books done in a more workman's style than crafted in a high language ala tolkein/jordan.
I can appreciate a good yarn and a master wordsmith, but I have to be in the right mood and have just the perfect amount of patience at that particular point in time.
Maybe it's the civil servant in me. Even with a B.A. in Journalism, I tend to go for the less poetic works.
Actually - I severely dislike poetry. Not my thing
Anyone here remember (fondly) the Shadowrun books of the early '90's? Good clean fun, dysotopian cyberpunk at TSR's best...take that as you will.
On further read through the preview chapters, I severely dislike Daniel Suarez now. I had planned on not buying anything else until I cleared some dreck out of my TBR pile. But, now I need to add these to my wishlist.
