    <body><![CDATA[Avery Cates is my Anti-Hero!<br/><br/>This is what you might call &quot;dime story pulp&quot; style of writing. Non-stop action and twist that keeps the story going and driving the plot like a mazaradi on the open road. <br/><br/>Rambo has nothing on Cates. He gets knocked down and still keeps c...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/13096184">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Another Avery Cates story, a sequel to The Electric Church that builds on the first story.  Once again, the world in which it's set is just a bit too hard to believe for me, but other than that it's an excellent story - characterization, dialogue, action are good.  You can see the protagonist changi...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/43659691">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[More Avery Cates! The remorseless hitman protagonist of THE ELECTRIC CHURCH returns to kill more people, in this highly superior SF noir series. This book has a brilliant twist, which the blurb on the back gives away, so don't read the blurb. It's a twist that makes you think twice about what it is ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/24410420">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Still a fun entry in the saga of the gunner-with-a-heart-of-gold, but nowhere near as engaging as the first. I found the ending particularly frustrating, given that I've spent two books now becoming rather fond of our Mr. Cates and I really wanted to see loose ends tied up for him. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Left me disoriented and disconcerted.  I looked over my shoulder all morning, jumped at every *popping* sound, and saw the world as a bit more gritty and unsavory.  Basically, I woke up this morning paranoid, hopeless, and a little less innocent.  Sign of a good read.]]></body>
