#RRSciFiMonth Waiting on Wednesday 11/18/15
“Waiting On Wednesday” is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine that lets us feature upcoming releases that we can’t wait to get our hands on!
Mogsy’s Pick:
The Courier by Gerald Brandt: March 1, 2016 (DAW)
For Week 3 of SciFiMonth, my Waiting on Wednesday pick is a science fiction debut set in futuristic San Francisco. Those who follow my reviews know that I’m always on the lookout for good cyberpunk! Also, you can never go wrong with a leather-clad lady on a motorcycle. That’s the truth.
“Kris Ballard is a motorcycle courier. A nobody. Level 2 trash in a multi-level city that stretches from San Francisco to the Mexican border, where corporations make all the rules. A runaway since the age of 14, Kris struggled to set up her life, barely scraping by, working hard to make it without anyone’s help. Witnessing the murder of one of her clients changes everything. Now she’s stuck with a mysterious package that everyone seems to want.
Now the corporations want Kris gone, and are willing to go to almost any length to make it happen. Hunted, scared, and alone, she retreats to the only place she knows she can hide: the Level 1 streets. Running from people that seem to know her every move, she is rescued by Miller—a member of an underground resistance group—only to be pulled deeper into a world she doesn’t understand. They work together to stay ahead of the corporate killers, until Miller falls into their hands. Kris realizes being alone isn’t the answer, and she’s willing to do anything to get him back.”

Hmm maybe, I’m curious to read reviews

In truth, I’d probably wait a little to see reviews as well, since I’m always a bit wary about cyberpunk, but it does sound and look awesome!

It does somehow remind me of a tv show I liked, “Dark Angel” – it might be interesting…

I haven’t heard of this one. 🙂 Sounds like it could be good, will likely wait to hear some opinions on it first

Hehe, contrary to my moaning, I guess there have been cyberpunk books I’ve liked…still looking for the one I will fall head over heels in love with though 🙂

Oh cool, a new one! I’ve never seen this book before. I love the cover, girl on a motorcycle, how can you complain about that? I love stories where someone sees something they shouldn’t and now they’re in deep….great choice!
