THE DARK RIVER, by John Twelve Hawks

by Rob @ 52 Novels on August 24, 2007

John Twelve Hawks's THE DARK RIVER33 I really loved THE TRAVELER. I thought it out-neuromanced NEUROMANCER.

And because of that, I was eager to read THE DARK RIVER. Couldn’t wait.

So, finally, I did read it.

I was disappointed. I just didn’t think the story was that good. Too much exposition sometimes (kinda like Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace). The writing was often so wooden, I asked myself why I was continuing to read.

It’s because I’ll have to read the final book to know how it all ends. Skipping this one would have been worse than continuing it.

If you read THE TRAVELER and liked it, then read THE DARK RIVER because you have to.

I guess this means I better not read The Traveler. :-)

I disagree… I think THE TRAVELER works as a standalone title. And if you stopped reading the series there, you’ve read a good cyberpunk sci-fi thriller. All would not be lost.

I say, “G’head and read THE TRAVELER.”
