![]() ![]() Simultaneous release with the Putnam hardcover (Reviews, June 18). Although there are a few strange mispronunciations, this is, on the whole, a smooth, intelligent recording of an intriguing and gripping book. He provides reflective calm for Gibson’s musings, and clarity to detailed, complex action scenes. ![]() In a novel that’s light on dialogue and heavy on narration and interior monologue, Dean doesn’t need to create distinct, accented voices. For Gibson, the nature of the quest object is almost beside the point it merely serves as a spark for a series of cleverly orchestrated confrontations and interesting meditations about the world and where it’s headed. i.e., cyberspace-creating a more nuanced and up-to-date relationship between the virtual and the real. Gibson reinvents the concept he made famous in his landmark SF novel, Neuromancer Told from three third-person perspectives, the story concerns a journalist backed by a mysterious Belgian industrialist, a young Cuban-Chinese go-to guy from a secretive clan of criminals, and a junkie fluent in Russian, who get caught up in a search for a mysterious shipping container. Robertson Dean’s deep, soothing tones anchor this post-9/11 thriller, a follow-up to Pattern Recognition Set in the same high-tech present day as Pattern Recognition, Gibson’s fine ninth novel offers startling insights.
