Terrific read here which will entertain you if you give it a go. Introducing Marshall Thomas Jefferson Cade "TJ to his mates" ex Space Marine and now a hard as nails Justice Department agent who with his partner Janek a cyborg attempting to understand increasing human feelings are attempting to uphold the law in the late 21st century. As the previous reviewer stated a good plot here where the "Darksiders" a section of the population who live underground are being rounded up kidnapped and taken to places unknown. As Cade and his offsider get closer and closer to discovering what is actually going on a dark plot is slowly revealed where a mining company is taking massive shortcuts in their pursuit to obtain the hugely expensive Titanium ore. Lots of good action scenes within this title which will certainly keep you turning the pages. Some of the banter between Cade and his cyborg partner is classic stuff indeed. Recommended reading.
The Phantom 9/10 August 2, 2004
This is an excellent book by one of the Bolan authors. The setting is in the future with a kind of Executioner style action taking place both on earth and in space. Cade is the main character, and he has a sidekick named Janek. Janek is a very lifelike cyborg who has lots of capabilities, like driving or piloting all kinds of vehicles, and can tap into computers to absorb information. Some good banter between these two as they track down an Industrialist who is using slave labor to mine titanium in dangerous locations on an asteroid. I like the future cop type of stories, and Mike has written a page turning action novel set in this interesting future world. Any fan of Mike's work should get this series if you happen to come across it in a used bookstore.
