Blade Gunner: The Cyberpunk Detective Series (Liquid Cool Book 2) Kindle Edition

by Austin Dragon (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 134 ratings
The Futuristic Thriller Blade Gunner Keeps You on the Edge of Your Seat!
Liquid Cool is the action-packed (and funny), sci fi detective series.

Who is Blade Gunner?

In the next installment of the sci-fi series, author Austin Dragon shows you when two forces of evil want to kill each other—get the hell out of the way! The Liquid Cool Series is the sci-fi classic, Blade Runner meets the Old Hollywood crime fiction, The Maltese Falcon. There’s plenty of gritty action, suspense, thrills, and even a few laughs.

Sinister secret megacorporations. Savage cyborg cults. And the Blade Gunner. How does Cruz, our private detective (and unlikely hero), solve this case—let alone survive? Off-worlders will do anything to stop the unknown fugitive called Blade Gunner—even if it means blowing up a supercity from space! Seedy spousal surveillance cases don’t look so bad after all, but it’s too late to go back. You haven’t read cyberpunk science fiction like this.

Welcome to the high-tech, low-life world of Liquid Cool.

Grab Blade Gunner (Liquid Cool, Book 2) today and begin your action-filled and funny sci fi detective adventure with Cruz and company!

    This novel builds on all of the characters- developing each one of them to the main character Cruz. His eclectic circle of friends and client blend together in a fascinating manner. The authors descriptions of both character and physical surroundings trigger a complex relationship that is both amusing and delightful. I really enjoyed learning more about how the different societies interacted. Just bought next book in series.

    Mr. Dragon held course and upped the ante with his second foray into life at the Liquid Cool Detective Agency.
    More danger, much greater chance for infection, higher stakes. But still the marvelous fun, intricately woven plot lines, dynamic characterization, all the while planning a wedding that has to please his in-laws to be...
    Mr. Dragon has successfully defended the space that he carved out with the publication of Liquid Cool. It is his and his alone. All hail!

    Best advice ever: “If you have a chance to kill your nemesis, do not hesitate.”

    This book had good guys, bad guys, friends, enemies, androids, cyborgs, and Elvis clones. The author successfully juggled multiple seemingly disparate plot threads, until he brought them all home in a literally explosive finale.

    I am definitely a fan of Liquid Cool! And you will be, too!

    This book was much better then the first (the ending was more exciting). Cruz takes on three clients all connected in some form other. The question could you identify who was good and who was the satirical humor left me laughing (Asimovians and Gydras) great play on words. Cruz, are germaphobic detective, must solve this mystery with the help of Corporations as well as the street Johnnies. The ending was quite a surprise with all the bad guys (and some good) meet there end.

    This book needs a score card so you can keep track of all the Players. Fun book, but not a light book. If you skim read you will be lost in no time. More weird then then a circus freak show and funnier too.

    This it the 3rd instalment in the 'Liquid Cool' world; and what a world it is. This novel follows on from the first two outings for our stylish hero, insofar as it is bloody funny, cleverly realised and written, and comes complete with loads of action and gratuitous gore. Look, do yourself a favour and wrap your orbs around the hi-tech/down-low world of Liquid Cool and prepare for a great ride.

    PJ is Cruz's assistant. She used to be a gang member and turned good.

    She lost her arms in an accident and was replaced with cybernetic ones. But was barred from using them illegally. She could pack a punch, hence PJ (short for Punch Judy).

    She loved telling people how she lost her arms and had them backing away from Cruz. Cruz rolled his eyes, signifying that the shinanigan never got old for her.

    But I'll let PJ explain her story if you decide to get the book.
