Set in the future, this is the story of Avery Cates who is not exactly a model citizen. In fact, if he had things his way, he would see the entirety of “society” and corrupt world government toppled. However, when he is approached by a man who wishes to hire him to assassinate the head of the Electric Church, he is going to need a helping hand from both government agents and the seedy underworld as well.

A post-cyberpunk book with heavy dystopian leanings. While I couldn't give it five stars, I did liked it. It lost a star because I felt it was a bit depressing and not always as compelling as I wished it had been. However, it did have several fine twists and will be checking out more of Jeff Somers work.
