With practically non-stop action and a number of scenes depicting cold-hearted cruelty and manipulation, this brilliantly written novel affords the reader a brutally realistic glimpse into a futuristic society which may feasibly become a reality some day. At the same time, elements of humor are welcome intrusions in the narrative, as Jonathan Harkon comments (in one sequence) on what he sees as the folly of dead humans being buried in cemetery plots. Or the way he fantasizes about Brenda's beautiful hair and luscious scent, only to remark," Thoughts like that would be wholly inappropriate. So, of course, I didn't have them!"
It goes without saying, then, that the Jonathan Harkon series is certain to deliver plenty of action, humor, and even prove to be intellectually stimulating!
The two words that describe the way I feel about this novel are engrossing and thought provoking. I came to know the character Jonathan Harkon, during the course of this thrilling novel. I am a huge fan of Science Fiction and was eager to read this based on the reviews. I was not disappointed. The storyline is believable and the use of first person in this book was also very well done.
The Meat Market without a doubt got my attention. I couldn’t help but be entertained and engrossed throughout. The author has a unique writing style that I found intriguing and alluring, that certainly did not hold back as you will find out!
With ongoing disfunction and corruption this story grabs you and takes hold. I enjoyed the unusual personalities and interesting dialog that took me by surprise.
It’s fun to consider what the future would be like and this was a cool spin. Wildly creative and imaginative. This story is action packed while you stroll around in another time. It’s a really cool premise with tons of vision.
