The Electric Church

The setting was awesome, the characters well fleshed out. The plot very promising, but the ending ruined it all.

A gritty futuristic world where people are secretly being abducted against their will and having their brains transplanted into artificial bodies, becoming religious nuts in the process. The protagonist is a hard ass gun for hire that has been set up to kill a cop, and now is being hunted down by the police. And in this decayed and corrupt future, they are not very nice people.

There is gun fighting, some psychic powers, and a basic “heist” plot, where a team of misfits must pull out an impossible feat. The details of how they execute it are not very clever, it is not the book's strongest feature. But the ending, definitely ruined it all.

At some point, fighting one indestructible cyborgs with superior fire power, greatly improved reflexes and strength is nearly impossible. by the end of the book, they infiltrate they home base with thousands of them, and destroy them by the dozen like it's nothing.

The author set up an impossible situation, and he failed to deliver a satisfactory solution.
