Summary: Pretty good book, ending needs closure.
Review: I gave the first book a "9," but this book does not get that high a rating. I have to admit the book continues on with the same level of character and intensity of the first book; however, I felt that the ending did not have a proper closure to it. It was obviously written in a way that requires a sequel. Otherwise a solid cyberpunk book

Summary: More of What You Liked in Liege-Killer
Review: Most of the reviews have explained some of the plot, so I won't rehash that. What I will try to do is explain why you should or shouldn't buy this, whether you'll like this or not.

First, you probably shouldn't buy or read this until you have read the first book in the series, Liege-Killer. The series is definitely in the genre of science fiction thrillers, where the action flows through quick and strong, the events really have major consequences, and major conspiracies are revealed. It's a great read.

If you like Liege-Killer, then will you like Ash Ock. It gives you more of what makes Liege-Killer a great read. If you thought the Paratwa and the Irryan Council had conspiracies up their sleave, there are more hidden agendas and conspiracies that are revealed and more struggles to fight, with even bigger stakes for the characters involved. If you didn't like Liege-Killer, then you'll probably not like Ash Ock either, since it's more of what's in Liege-Killer.

One word of warning. If you're going to buy and read Ash Ock, you'd better buy the third book in the series, Paratwa. Even though Liege-Killer was a book that can stand on its own, and the story has a satisfying ending, the Ash Ock book is the 1st part of a 2 part story that ends in Paratwa. Ash Ock ends abruptly in the middle of a story and Paratwa continues right where Ash Ock ends and ends the 2 part story in a nice conclusion. So get both, or you'll be kicking yourself after you finish Ash Ock and you'll be wondering what happens in the next hour in the story.

I haven't had this much fun reading a science fiction thriller in a long time. Enjoy the ride.

Summary: Adds to plot, but really a teaser for book 3. Skip it.
Review: This is all plot, little action, simple intrigue, and introduces new characters. It then just stops, like the author ran out of paper or ink. This book is just a teaser for the next in the series. If I had known this, I would have waited for the next in the series and skipped this episode.
