\"SIN:THETICA\"<\/p>\n

This week, I’m pleased to welcome Keith Anthony Baird and his latest novel, SIN:THETICA.<\/p>\n

\"SIN:THETICA\"<\/p>\n

Blurb<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Sino-Nippon war is over.<\/p>\n

It is 2113 and Japan is crushed under the might of Chinese-Allied Forces.<\/p>\n

A former Coalition Corps soldier, US Marine Balaam Hendrix is now a feared bounty hunter known as \u2018The Reverend\u2019.<\/p>\n

In the sprawl of NeuTokyo, on this lawless frontier, he must track down the rogue employee of a notorious crime lord.<\/p>\n

But, there\u2019s a twist.<\/p>\n

His target has found protection inside a virtual reality construct and Hendrix must go cyber-side to corner his quarry. The glowing neon signs for SIN:THETICA are everywhere, and promise escape from a dystopian reality.<\/p>\n

But will it prove the means by which this hunter snares his prey, or will it be the trap he simply can\u2019t survive?<\/p>\n

My Review<\/h2>\n

\"\"While this isn’t my genre, it was still an excellent read. There were plenty of twists to keep me interested, and it was well-written. Okay, it was gory in places, but show me a dystopian novel, TV program, or even a current police procedural, and there is going to be a certain amount of that.<\/span><\/p>\n

Overall, I enjoyed the book and the author’s unique style.<\/p>\n
