A Cyberpunk Thriller To Keep You on the Edge of Your Seat Liquid Cool is the action-packed (and funny), debut cyberpunk detective series. How Much is One Life Worth? In the sci-fi/cyberpunk detective series, author Austin Dragon shows why you never want to meet a cyborg in a dark alley. Liquid Cool is a cross between Blade Runner and the Maltese Falcon. There is plenty of gritty action, suspense, thrills, and even a few laughs. It's cyberpunk reimagined--an ever-rainy world of colossal skyscrapers, hover-cars, flashy neon streets, and futuristic mechanization. Metropolis isn't a bad place, but it isn't a good one either. Uber-governments and mega-corporations fight for control of the fifty-million-plus super-city, but so does crime. We meet Cruz, our private eye (and unlikely hero), in this super-city with a million victims and perpetrators. Watch out for tech-tricksters, analog hustlers, and digital gangsters--psychos, samurais, and cyborgs aplenty. Visitors have a way of becoming permanent attractions. Welcome to the high-tech, low-life world of Liquid Cool.… (meer)

For some reason when I picked this up I thought it was cyberfunk, not cyberpunk. Oops.

Either way, I was looking for something out of my comfort zone, and I got it.

It took me a while to get into the story. In spite of the action in the first chapter, the overall story starts off slow and it takes a while to see what the main plot will be and how all the characters fit together. The writing style also threw me at first. It's more descriptive and in some ways flowery than is common, which gives the writing a more languid feel.

But once I got into the story I really enjoyed it. The city is fascinating, a character in it's own right. The human characters are engaging and enjoyable. The plot is fun, occasionally convoluted, and very much believable.

It's billed as detective noir meets cyberpunk and that's very much what it is. If you like either of those genres, or are looking to try something new, I highly recommend. (

This is a fun book. Its a Philip Marlowe or Mike Hammer story set in a science fiction future with flying cars and laser guns. Its fast paced with a lot of violence but not gory. And it never takes itself too seriously. A perfect book to follow an intense thriller or serious non-fiction. (

I freely chose to review this ARC as I wanted to know what all the hype was about, so now I know and can't wait the rest of the series! I was intrigued as futuristic books are my passion and Cruz never let me down in his determination to reach the top when he was given a case to solve about what set Easy Chair Charlie to trigger a shootout with dozen of Metropolis cops when he knew Easy never carried a gun! And so begins Cruz's rise to a private investigator that eventually leads him to trying to stay alive as every gang wanted to take him out. (
