Product Description
Product Description
Detective Rook Venner was a successful Investigating Officer for the Hudson Valley Police Department - until the General Sangacha murder case came across his desk and his world exploded. Now after being dragged through hell and back, and surviving the brain washing efforts of the fascist clique running the country, Rook Venner knows that the deck is stacked against him. The eyewitness pleasure model that he's sworn to protect carries a secret in her head that terrifies the powers-that-be in the USA of 2068. And they will do anything to find her and Rook. Even bring in a Tactical Robotic Regiment to track them down and annihilate them. The only choice Rook and Plesur have is to find the hidden location of the coordinates that were planted in the pleasure mod's head, the isolated mountain ridge where it all began. Deep underground, in a warren of machine halls and ice caves, something so horrific is happening that just knowing three code words is enough to get you killed: Operation Taste Imperative. Rook and Plesur have no way back, no way out, and only one way forward. If they want to survive and have any kind of life together, they must discover the astonishing, terrifying secret behind the barbed wire and minefields that protect this secret laboratory inside the mountain.

Put your money on Money Shot
15 Nov 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
You don't want to miss this one. The Netherworld books seem to get better and better. If you haven't read Pleasure Model and Blood-Stained Man, Money Shot is reason enough to do so, though thanks to Rowley's straight-forward reminders, it contains enough history to stand on its own - it just won't be quite as fulfilling as if you'd been with Rook, Plesur and Miss Julia from the start.
After a page or two of an intriguing metaphysical opening, the heart-gripping action starts and doesn't stop. This is so real, so clearly seen, heard, felt and smelled that you can't get out of it anymore than Rook Venner can. You're trapped till it's over. There's no time to catch your breath. Every minute of the battle is accounted for; you might as well be in it. And things are never all right. It's one nightmare after another. The weaponry is staggering - among them, robot armies of Thunderclaws that look like seven-foot-tall praying mantises, and ten-ton steel monsters with feet the size of cars. Miss Julia the Dominatrix, might be the most frightening weapon of all, if you're a man. Plesur is a pleasure to watch, assailing the enemy on the strength of a military "ex-plant".
Through it all, the human element is always there - peoples' passions, regrets, loves and hates.
And the underlying story, not revealed until the very end, is so all-encompassing, frightening, horrifying and relevant that it will keep you forever on the look-out for signs of it in our own version of netherworld. Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.

Great but not truly five stars
7 Mar 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have read the two previous volumes in this series. The Whole series (and I hope there are more volumes coming) is worth reading. A lot of interesting concepts and of course the nice thought of a world full of Pamela Anderson copies running around. There is a lot of action and the story has a nice flow to it.
Some minor irritants are there. These books have a number of tiny drawings in them but I fail to see how they add to the story. The Drawings are not particularly good and if you are looking for Pamela Anderson you will not see her. The pleasure model does in fact not look like her at all. Also you would expect that a book filled with the existence of moving sex toys would contain a lot of sex? No, almost nothing and when there are a few lines it is nothing like you would expect from Heavy Metal. You could in fact replace the pleasure models with refugees from a war thorn country and the story would be the same.
But, it is not bad, just not what at least I expected.
