- Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2019I confess I have all the Liquid Cool books. The first one was pretty good, and the series hit its stride by the second one. So each time a new one comes out I expect to be disappointed, just because I’ve seen so many “new” authors burn out after a few books. Not Austin Dragon with Liquid Cool. Digital Samurai may be the best of the series yet. His protagonist Cruz is one of the best continuing characters I’ve read about in a long time. And the stories keep revealing more about the world he lives in. The writing is solid craftsmanship, it’s clear Dragon has been writing and honing his craft for awhile. Some of the characters are a little “cardboard”, but that’s actually the narrative purpose of them I think. It’s difficult to describe these stories. They certainly pay homage to the noir detective tradition of Raymond Chandler and film noir. It’s excellent dystopian science fiction, but without the dark depressing overlay that ruins most dystopian sci-fi. There’s tension and drama that produces an eagerness to read the next page. But Dragon keeps his (and Cruz’s) tongue firmly in cheek, so there’s a bit of a playful satirizing and making mockery of a number of literary genres. It’s a brilliant improbable mishmash of literary (and pulp) traditions that somehow works, and wonderfully so. If I was forced to describe these books in one word, that would be “fun”. Read the books in order, they’re much better that way.
Last, to the author: I want a Liquid Cool t-shirt. If you’ve read these books, you’ll understand.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2019This is the third Liquid Cool book I've read, but I'm planning to read all of them. I would suggest to read book 1 first at all costs. After that, not sure it matters (if you don't mind small spoilers here and there).
The biggest draw of these books is the streetwise Cruz, the noir type detective living in a cyberpunk type city. He is witty, brave, and always ready for action. And that action is thrilling, edge of your seat craziness.
I had a harder time following some of this story, which centered around corporate warfare and the corporate soldiers that work behind the scenes to determine who lands on top. I just went with it. Still great fun.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2019This book was a bit moodier and violent than other LC books. I guess due to the Samurai bit. Still a great read especially how they meet DG. LC’s poor neighbors :)
- Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2019Love the genre mashups - sci-fi + cyber + commando + mystery and a little dash of noir - fast moving occasionally thoughtful and often exciting - great read
- Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2019Our hero is a top notch PI in a world of megacorps, digital samurai and other hi tech gizmos. When one of those megacorps comes calling, you know there is going to be trouble.
This is a fantastic combination of the hardboiled detective and SF genres. We get the tough-as-nails PI couple with all kinds of nutty SF characters and gadgets which makes the story fun to read. It helps that the story itself is very well written and populated by a diverse cast of interesting characters. The action is also fast paced and the plot has lots of twists and turns that keep you on your toes. It was a very wild and enjoyable read.
Highly recommended.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout for review purposes.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2019This is one of the most convoluted books I have ever read. It's like getting caught in a word tornado (I believe I'll call it a Wordnado). As usual, Cruz takes on a case that could cause his demise. Yet, he perseveres, and is triumphant. There's plenty of action and espionage but, at the end of the day, all Cruz wants to do is go home to his wife and child. Maybe, he should get a different job. Because, clearly, the PI business will be the death of him.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2019Digital Samurai is as fast paced and exciting as the rest of the series. The writing is so descriptive that I can see the action unfold before me. These books should be made into a series. Film-noir set in a futuristic world with a diverse cast of loveable characters and some nasty adversaries. Winning combination!
- Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2019I have all Mr Dragons books and each has its own flavor always a story in a story. This is still very exciting series with new characters . Most of his old standby characters didn't appear but it still made a very good read.

5.0 out of 5 stars One non-stop action ride thru the cyber future
I could not put this book down. I connected with the characters and loved the plot twists and turns. All the action occurs in a believable future landscape, and its laced with interesting side characters. William Gibson meets Dashiell Hammett.
