James's review
Market Forces by Richard K. Morgan
Before he wrote Altered Carbon, Morgan wrote the screenplay that became Market Forces. It's more snide, a little tongue in cheek, rather reminiscent in tone of RoboCop. It is a problematic book for me because there are *no* sympathetic characters in it. It's a hard trick to make the reader care about characters they don't like, and this book just doesn't quite succeed in doing that.
It's not a wretched book. I've read wretched books, and this isn't one. But it's disappointing when you're used to Morgan's better work.
