Summary

A typical urban mercenary satisfying read; the opening—two shots bursting tires, marksmanship linking shots into a net—is written crisply, and the professional details and hard-boiled dialogue sustain the atmosphere—suitable for readers who want fast pacing and plenty of gunfight scenes. The weaknesses are that character relationships are spread wide, female characters and romance lines easily fall into formula, and the later mission structure feels repetitive—suitable as a long, meaty, punch-for-punch diversion.

Editor's review

A quintessential urban mercenary power-fantasy. The opening—two shots that blow out tires and a marksmanship technique that links every shot into a web—is crisp and efficient, and the professional detail and hard-boiled dialogue carry the atmosphere. Ideal for readers who want fast pacing and plenty of gunplay. Its weaknesses are an overexpanded cast of characters, female characters and romance arcs that easily fall into cliché, and a later stretch of missions that feel repetitive in structure. Best enjoyed as a long, pulpy, punch-for-punch diversion.
