I like the Bridge Chronicles so far. It is a sweet series that really takes the whole corporation control to a cool story point. I am waiting for the third book to come out. I've gotten the first two on my kindle. And very cheaply too.
Although one thing I did not like about this book was the fact that the ending seemed rushed. It left me wondering about the new characters and how they lived and what they did after the fiasco they caused. And how Aristotle coped with what happened to his grandmo...more

The Know Circuit, the follow-up to Gary A. Ballard's first novel of The Bridge Chronicles, Under the Amoral Bridge, is pretty much everything that it's predecessor was. It has a breakneck pace, with consistent action and interest; it isn't one of those novels that takes 500 pages to amble along where it's going, with tons of tangents and tidbits apropos of nothing. It has a familiar noir-ish twinge that is present in quite a lot of cyberpunk, but...more

An exercise in Arthur C. Clarke's maxim "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" The Know Circuit puts Mr. Ballard's earlier protagonist, Artemis Bridge, squarely in the center of a uber-geek, ultra-tech SNAFU that devastates Boulder, Colorado. I'll avoid spoilers and a synopsis, but
note this book has more science and geek culture than cyberpunk grit, Nonetheless, The Know Circuit is a solid and worthy sequel. I'm looking forward to the third installment.

This is a follow up to Amoral Bridge. I would consider this a cyberpunk book. I found the main character interesting and this is a good story, just not as good as the first book. Once again I find myself wishing for a "half star" as this book is better than average but not quite great.
Still not finished with this book. I don't think it is anywhere as good as the first book in this series, "Under an Amoral Bridge". Plot kind of takes off sideways IMHO. Expect I will finish the book eventually.
No where near as good as the first, but decent enough. *shrug*

I began writing things down at the age of eleven, and I haven't stopped since. I have written far too many things that have gone unpublished, from very terrible horror novels in my teens, to comics during my time at Belhaven College until finally settling on cyberpunk science fiction after graduation. I have released three novels in a cyberpunk series called The Bridge Chronicles. The Bridge Chron...more
