    5.0 out of 5 stars Cool Cyberpunk Vibe
    Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2020

    I read this book after I read Tanweer Dar’s “Neon Nightmares,” a short-story collection that presented an array of characters and plots. Tan expands the cyberpunk vibe into a longer story with this novella. It’s dark and gritty and full of action.

    The man with no name is the loner type of hero, similar to Western movies. He’s got a gasoline-powered muscle car instead of a horse (people in the city travel in electric vehicles). Flashbacks allow the reader to understand why he has no name and add depth to his character.

    The environment is vibrantly described, so I could easily imagine the city of skyscrapers, rife with advertisements, as the characters zipped from one area to another — all the characters with individual agendas.

    And when those agendas intersect, there’s a lot of action. Some characters want to keep control, some want to regain control, some want escape. Tan keeps them rushing toward those goals. Hold on to your seat or reading device or paperback book: this story is a fast-paced ride.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fast paced, gripping cyberpunk
    Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2020

    The Man With No Name unfolds quickly through multiple timelines and from several points of view. The world is dark without becoming overly grim and is well crafted by the author. We are given enough details to understand the world the characters inhabit but since there is obviously more to learn, it left me wanting more.
    While fast paced action keeps the story moving forward, we are given good character moments throughout. This keeps the story grounded and relatable in a cyberpunk dystopia.
    Absolutely recommend this book and I’m eagerly awaiting the next entry.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Slick, Solid Cyberpunk Fare
    Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2020

    I hadn't PLANNED to read this in one sitting! But the night was cool, the stars were crisp, my seat was comfy, the screen was JUST the right brightness...

    And the book was DAMN good!

    It's fair to say I'm a wee bit preoccupied with stories of augmented and artificial intelligence. That's probably what keeps me interested in Cyberpunk, despite not being generally disposed, personally to dystopian works as a whole.

    This book had those in SPADES. There were really interesting treatments of humans with cyber-tweaks (both the advantages and the pitfalls), and more properly Artificial Intelligence. Both are conveyed without Infodumping, but rather in ways that maintain the narrative flow and the emotional resonance.

    General tech is handled similarly: it emerges as it's needed, does what it does, and gets out of the way. There is some very cool tech In here, make no mistake, but it's not fetishized at the expense of story.

    The action sequences are plentiful, and well-handled, conjuring the sequence and keeping it brisk, without getting bogged down in description.

    My only quibble here is that there are a couple of relationships which felt like they needed just a *wee* bit more context; they conveyed the characters' investment in each other, and conjured enough of an empathic Hook that I bought them. But at times I wanted more about *why* they were so important to each other. It felt a little bit like these were references to other stories that I hadn't read.

    Still, that's *only* a quibble. In virtually every other respect, The Man With No Name is plenty good enough that the author deserves to make a name for himself with it...and with any subsequent entries I'm very much looking forward to reading!

    What will a mother do to protect her child? What will an android do to get a body? Tanweer Dan takes us on a journey in this finely crafted take to find out. It brings the age old question of a mother's love out in the open. I thoroughly enjoyed this and think everyone else will to.

    There was nothing I disliked here. Tanweer pays homage such amazing concepts as Bladerunner and Mad Max, while bringing his own creative twist to his fast-paced cyberpunk universe. No fluff here. No boring chapter. Just a straight adrenaline shot to the arm before you race page to page to it's climactic ending. Well worth the price.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Cyberpunk at its coolest
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 19, 2020

    The Man With No Name exudes cool, and will delight fans of cyberpunk.

    It’s a short book, but it doesn’t skimp on content. Its twisting narrative spans decades in the life of a man who just wants to be free.

    Tanweer Dar has a style of writing that’s a joy to read, and reading the book feels like you’re watching a movie unfold. The book’s length makes it easy to read in one sitting, which I’d heartily recommend.

    If you like the sound of neon-swathed cities, anarchic AIs, and tight-lipped vigilantes, then you won’t be disappointed. It’s an absolute gem.

    It’s my first time reading this sort of genre as I usually read historical fiction. I thought I should try something new during lock down. I must say I made a good choice. The storyline was engaging and the dystopian world created through the narrative was easy to picture. The book does make you question AI and the fear of its control. I will definitely pass this on to my son to read. I am looking forward to reading the next book.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Short n Sweet
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 2, 2020

    The Man With No Name is a fun bite-sized cyberpunk novella in a world that owes debt to Blade Runner and a myriad other near futures we’ve seen on screen. I enjoyed the virtually shared lore with Complete Darkness where everyone has a Headchip – except here one man remains unchipped – no prizes in guessing that this is our unnamed hero.
    In this bleak and sparsely populated tale, the titular Man With No Name fights a lonely battle to try and prevent our freedom being overwritten by a bio/tech fusion – this is a nice touch beginning to blur the lines between biology and technology.
    It all cracks along at a good pace and there are some good action set pieces. I felt in places the author over details passages – conversations are full of ‘he / she saids’ and the prose doesn’t flow easily. This is in contrast to the characters who don’t get much flesh on their bones. There are also some stock descriptions that come up again and again about the black muscle car the hero drives. Not being too complex does mean that this would be a good taster cyberpunk for young adult readers.

    I loved this. When it got going, it really got going! Breakneck pace read. It's got action, believable characters, and all in a well presented dystopian future setting. Thumbs up.
