Very interesting
19 Aug 2008
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Sam Turner, decommissioned reconnaissance cyborg for Old Earth has gone native, even down to studying to be a wizard on his new home world of Dest. However, when another cyborg shows up, his equanimity is shattered. The other cyborg, aptly named Flame, has gone insane during her years-long interstellar flight and wants nothing so much as to kill every inhabitant of Dest. Now, it is up to Sam to stop Flame, and save the inhabitants of Dest...including himself!
For many years now, I have been a great fan of Lawrence Watt-Evans' wonderful series - Ethshar, Lords of Dus and Worlds of Shadow. Having finished all of those books currently available, I moved on to his War Surplus series, of which The Cyborg and the Sorcerers was book one, and The Wizard and the War Machine was the second.
Overall, I found this book to be a very interesting read, but not quite as good as the first book. The magic versus high-tech angle is nearly gone here, with magic revealed as psionics, and even then the magic is used very sparingly. As such, the book is much more of a science fiction story - a mano-a-mono competition between the cyborgs.
But, that said, this is another very good Lawrence Watt-Evans book, one that I do not hesitate to recommend.
