Okay, this book pulls no punches when it comes to violence. And it's done very tastefully. You're able to take in the horror without getting disgusted. It's what is not done that is more scary than what's on the pages. A masterful write. I'm definitely buying more from this author again.
The book scared me, disgusted me, and made me go OH SHIT by the time I was near the end pages. One of the top most satisfying books I've read this year. Will definitely pick it up to read again.
In a nutshell, halfheads are criminals who have their brains removed and they're made to do menial jobs in the society. Will Hunter is a decorated Network Officer, like the CIA. Sherman House is a place which has a history with Will because he had a traumatic experience there on a mission. Then, there is Dr. Westfield, a halfhead who comes back to life and has a bone to pick with Will. The book might have some loopholes if you rip it apart, but the writing is what pulls the story through. It doesn't slow down, doesn't let you breathe and just grabs you along for the ride. If you like violent books that go totally down and out on the characters, this is the one. Some might find the violence squeamish, but I totally enjoyed it. Enjoyed the hell out of it. Heck, I'll write the author a letter telling him how must I enjoyed this book.
Buy it!
