70% hardboiled detective mystery +

100% of it so grim, dark and noiry that you’d need a military searchlight just to brighten it up to bleak...

Equals a shockingly good, knock-me-down surprise that far exceeded my expectations.

A win...a gem...a terrific discovery.

I never really got into this book (I figure I read about a third), but we had a good discussion at book club. The main character is an antihero, which I rarely like, and it's in first person POV, making it worse for me to try to be in the characters head. The setting is depressing also, a run down backwater planet that nobody likes. The plot is a mystery, dead body and dirty politics. I complained that the women that I saw (except the rookie cop) were all side players, except maybe the one who r...more

I was intrigued by the premise of a mystery set on another planet as I have an affinity for genre-blending stories. Too bad it didn't live up to my hopes. I could only stand to read through chapter 11 before putting this lump down.[return][return]The setting for the story is a totally corrupt society on a backwater planet. Very much like Simon Green's Nightside, but instead of dark and spooky, the world is sweaty and moldy. Dark and spooky = interesting. Sweaty and moldy? Just eww.[return][retur...more

I can’t stand stories about corrupt cops and that’s the reason it got a second star out of me because I mistakenly bought something I would, by default, probably not like. Genre aside, there isn’t much to like in this story.

Given this is set a few hundred years in the future you could barely tell it except for mentions of off-worlders and that this is a colony world. It’s very sloppy world building in my opinion. If you didn’t know that part and if we didn’t randomly mention holograms there isn’t anything to make you think this is SF. The colony grew to fame almost two hundred years ago based on a liquor made from a native plant but someone took that plant off world and ruined the economy and it never recovered at all. Basically the whole planet is a slum except for those who still have liquor money who go off world and get the best of everything. The planet is rather hostile and given that Juno Mozambe’s relatives came as colonist to work, you have to wonder why people didn’t just do the same and leave Largato to go elsewhere. Okay maybe you don’t have money, but really in 150 years the entire planet has found a single thing to respark it’s economy (maybe I’d believe that better if I didn’t live through the destruction of Pittsburgh’s steel industry and watch its rebirth into a whole new and prosperous economy in medicine and high tech). Oh wait, they DO find a new industry but that’s the lynchpin of the mystery so I can’t discuss this. And how disappointed am I that almost every woman in this story except for Juno’s wife and his new partner, the wealthy, honest Maggie, is a whore, literally. Good to know that in the future that is still the only thing women are good for and even better to know that people still get accused of ‘talking like a chink.’ (seriously, if I hadn’t paid money for this, I would have never finished this book).

World building aside, none of the characters are likeable. Juno is not just corrupt, he’s nothing more than a Mafia strong arm man, only he does it for Paul Chang, the head of KOP (and no, there’s no reason I remember for using a K instead of a C). He and Paul, along with the help of the Bandur crime family built Kop into what it is. Yes, Juno is a vice cop now and he’s refusing to torture people any more for Paul (because he’s losing the use of one arm and his wife doesn’t want him involved any more). The last thing Juno wanted was to be pulled onto a high profile homicide and even worse, get stuck with Maggie, the poor little rich girl promoted way too fast because of her family name.

Maggie isn’t much more likeable. She’s too much a stereotype. Yes she’s a rich girl but she’s honest and good and yadda yadda, the same thing we always see with characters like this. Together they find out that someone how the mayor is involved and he wants to see Paul and Juno go down since they’re too powerful.

And the end just sucks. I read mysteries to see the bad guy get it in the end. Yes, I know all too well that’s not always reality but still, I always feel cheated with endings like this. And I still have a second novel to read. I may just give it away unread and call it a loss. I can handle dark and gritty noir. I like that. I don’t like my ‘heroes’ to be as skuzzy as the people they’re after. This book made me feel like I needed to shower in bleach.

There's a lot to like about this book. Especially if you're like me, and a sucker for noir integrated into other things and interesting settings.

On those two counts, this book does really well. The setting makes fabulous use of a massive space travel delay, and begins with the assumption that while future haves may have way shinier things, the have-nots may continue not-having in much the same way that they always have.

Surprisingly good, gritty sci-fi noir. Usually I'm annoyed by an overabundance of fancy technology cutting into any dark aspects this sort of genre can show, but the author handles this all deftly. It feels very Blade Runner, with fantastical technology being commonplace... but not for everyone. The world is dark and mean, and our hero barely fits the word.

Juno is not a good person, but his heart might be somewhere near the right place. Unabashedly corrupt, he uses his knowledge to try to make a...more

I started KOP because I was led to it by an article about science fiction noir that I have, alas, forgotten. KOP is thoroughly noir, thoroughly science fiction. I was hooked immediately. Juno Mozambe is a dirty cop working for the Koba Office of Police (KOP), which he and his friend and chief, Paul, took over years ago. Koba is the primary city of the sweaty, dirty world of Lagarto.

I bought this one at a con because it looked interesting, a little edgy and dark, even though I don't typically read SF that much.

I'm glad I did. I really liked this. As the cover suggests, it IS dark and edgy and gritty, with a ton of atmosphere and an intereting main character (who is anything but perfect) and an intriguing plot.

The basic premise is the main character, Juno, is a cop on the planet of Lagarto, which is slowly sinking into economic despair because their single export--a special kind of brandy--has been smuggled offworld and can now be produced anywhere. So there's rampant crime throughout the planet, including within the police force. In fact, Juno and his partner have taken control of Kop by making a deal with the local mob syndicate and along with them are "managing" the crime in the city of Koba.

But the world is changing and Juno and his partner don't have as firm a grip on the situation as they think. We are introduced to Juno when he's called in to investigate a murder, even though he works in vice. His partner, who now runs the police force, has asked him to look into it because there are political implications and he wants Juno, his old enforcer, to figure out how the mayor is involved. It seems the mayor is making a move to take over not only Kop, to clean it up, but the city in general. In addition, Juno is saddled with a new rookie partner, when he prefers to work alone.

As you can imagine, the homicide becomes complicated, and there's more going on than just the mayor trying to get his hands on Kop.

The book reminded me heavily of the movie Bladerunner (and in fact, the Bladerunner comparison is made by Carrie Vaughn in her blurb on the sequel to this book called Ex-Kop). The best part of the book is the world itself--a dark and gritty jungle that's hot and steamy and wet and the perfect setting for some nasty political power plays between the real politicians, the mob, and dirty cops. You can literally feel the humidity and the lizards crawling across your feet. Even though Juno is as dirty as you can get (he was an enforcer after all), he's still smart and he doesn't do anything unless he needs to, so you end up caring about him and his situation. He's had his heyday--he's not young anymore and he knows his time is coming to an end--and that's what makes him sympathetic to the reader. His wife, who has her own troubled past, simply wants him to quit the force, which he plans on doing after he solves this last case for his old partner. Even the new rookie partner is interesting in her naivete, which is completely realistic. And the plot . . . well, it gets convoluted as all good mystery plots do, but it's easy to follow and makes total sense.

The book doesn't end where you think it will end, at least not for me, although the ending is certainly satsifactory and perfect for the world and situation. A very strong debut novel and one that I'd certainly recommend for anyone who enjoyed Bladerunner. Great atmosphere and a hardcore mystery that kept me reading. In fact, I moved on to the sequel, Ex-Kop, immediately after finishing this, and I fully intend to get the third when it comes out.(less)

Interesting world that was conceived for this book. I found the story to be good, plotting good and fast-paced with good diversions. Some of the subject matter probably will offend or bother a few readers, not me. I think that the premise of how a "corrupt" police force was actually created to bring order and peace to the civilian population to be a nice twist on things.

It reminds me of a lesser story in the original Star Trek series. Cute and fun to see the characters in it, but not anything t...more

Warren Hammond has created a fascinating, fully fleshed out world in KOP. Set in the future in a once prosperous planet Lagarto, KOP could easily be set in any seedy city. Described as "Science Fiction Noir", KOp delves into Juno Mozambe, a corrupt cop. He is paired with a rarity in Lagarto, an honest partner. Without giving up much of the plot, they trail a lead that goes much deeper than both anticipated.

When Paul asks him to take a homicide case his trembling right hand and concerned wife remind him that his enforcer days are over. But this is an important case and Juno can't say no to Paul, even when Paul sticks him with a new partner, fresh from the academy Maggie Orzo. Something's going on that's even dirtier than the partnership between the chief of police and Koba's kingpin of crime, Ben Bandur, and Juno's got to prove it.

This is a noir SF set on a planet 15 light years from Earth. The planet's main export dried up years ago and now its economy is dead. The worldbuilding is quite good, with various slum neighbourhoods and the remnants of the plantation rich in crime free neighbourhoods. Most outside money comes from tourism, but even that's turned bad for the locals. It's the perfect setting for a crime novel, and the mix of races gives it flavour.

The grittiness is both a pro and a con for this book as it is the scene, but can become overbearing at times. The world is thoroughly depressing and it's unclear if the protagonist is doing the right thing.

Juno's dirty but he's also, somehow, a decent guy. His enforcer history is mentioned and towards the end of the book he denegrates back into the lifestyle somewhat, and yet, he's very sympathetic and likeable.

As is Maggie. I was impressed that the two of them end up working together so well and trusting each other despite his being dirty and her being a straight arrow. It's entirely realistic when she discovers that his way gets results that hers wouldn't, and so she starts letting things slide while still being optimistic about cleaning up the force in the future.

The case begins as fairly straight forward, but takes several turns as the pair discover just how much things are changing for the worse. It's very intricate with twists that are hard to predict.

This is a fantastic noir tale. If you like gritty SF, pick this up.(less)

Lagarto, with a once booming economy, changed almost overnight to a stricken slum planet after the secrets of its main export, a unique brandy was stolen, replicated and produced more cheaply elsewhere. Now the only way any serious money can be made is illegal drugs, prostitution and slave trading but for those who made the long trip from earth hoping for prosperity many years ago, all that's left is Tenttown, disease and despair.
Most of the story's action takes place in Lagarto's capital city of Koba.

The planet's entire police force, Kop, is corrupt starting at the top with Koba Police Chief Paul Chang, who along with close friend and the story's protagonist Juno climbed into bed with the city's crime lord Ram Bandur over twenty years ago.
Together they tore through the city, leaving a path of destruction as both criminals and kops were left with a simple choice work for us or go to jail. Paul arrested his way to the top with Juno as his temper stricken enforcer. Now they run the city but things are about to change, there is a new mayor with big plans and cleaning up kop is high on his agenda.

Juno's violent enforcing days are behind him, a dirty kop whose only duty now is collecting protection money as a vice kop, hiding a shaking right hand that threatens his career and living with his partner Niki who also hides a violent past.
Juno has a chequered history, the back story of how he and Paul rise from lowly detectives to running kop is fed to us gradually through the book and makes for interesting reading.

Whilst under heavy scrutinization by the Mayors anticorruption faction and his own chief of detectives Paul asks Juno to investigate the murder of an Army officer, partnering him with a rookie, a rich, clever and straight policewoman Maggie Orzo.
The Mayors office want the case dropping, something is not right, can Juno and his partner put the pieces together while the powers that be meticulously plan to wipe each other out once and for all.

Juno is an easily accessible character, an antihero that could have been the villain but his decisions make him believable in a compelling way, very likeable, his loyalty to Paul is unwavering right up to the end. The story is very well written, world building is excellent, you can just imagine the slum town floating on the flood plain as the jungle forever fights to claim the city and the offworlders with incredible technology, perfect in every way. There is enough twists and turns to maintain a frenetic pace throughout, no shortage of violence and character development is handled superbly.
I already have the second and third novels Ex-Kop and Kop Killer and will be reading soon after this thoroughly impressive debut.

This is a very good effort for a first-time author. The language is explicit, and sex and violence abound. The setting is a planet far away in both time and distance from modern-day Earth. Humans on the planet live in misery, and the police force is corrupt. The story is about one of the corrupt cops. There are a few surprises that demonstrate the author's creativity and talent.

Brilliant. 3rd world science fiction.

Juno stumbles onto the stage, past his prime, full of need, violent, troubled, and yet he becomes the hero. It's noire, it's science fiction, and it's brilliant.

Loved it. Dark, gritty, corrupt dystopian future with a cop that is "most practical" in his approach. Juno is a great character, a reflection of the dark, gritty world he inhabits. Right when I started reading this first book, I knew I was going to be all in after the set up. I just really enjoy the sci fi/futuristic detective stories and with the added darkness and corruption of the characters and their world it was clear to me this was something really awesome. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
