One man goes to Tokyo to end the world. It goes fairly well. "Cruise wildly imaginative waters where would-be fascist billionaires consort with female assassins, mothers are killed by the Khmer Rouge, plastic surgeons manipulate human DNA, bearded cult leaders levitate on the Tokyo subway, and a superpowerful artificial intelligence employs an irony filter." --TeleRead Review

Smashwords book reviews by Marc Horne

  • Concrete Underground on April 02, 2010
    star star star star star
    ‘Concrete Underground’ knocked me out. It takes the noir plot and loops it into a feedback cycle until it breaks. It embraces the implausibility of the hero and squeezes horror out of it. Fast, sexy fun is laid on top of a growing layer of scar tissue on human faces until you can’t tell the difference anymore. It wears its influences on its sleeve and even walks you through them, but it makes something new out of them. A true 21st century novel.
  • Scribbling On Foucault's Walls on Sep. 08, 2011
    star star star star star
    Intelligent fiction that is somehow more true for being set in a parallel universe. Totally recommended. Cool, thoughful, nouvelle-vague-chic, with more real (if suppressed) emotion than 8 typical novels.
