5.0 out of 5 stars An advance mixture of far ranging SF and Cyberpunk, 30 May 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Voice of the Whirlwind (Paperback)
When I read this book, I could find nothing that related it to Hardwired in any way. That said, this is still a fantastic novel. In the first pages, a certain well-known story cliche is introduced. Don't let it throw you, keep reading, you won't regret it. Mr. Williams stages an intricately layered plot, just as soon as think everything is wrapped up, and completely unexpected and totally believable new layer is revealed. I read it in a single day.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent. Terrific plot and good characterization., 21 Mar 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Voice of the Whirlwind (Paperback)
This book is excellent. It easily makes my list of top ten sci-fi. The plot, while complex, comes together without using gratuitious coincidences. It is a great combination of space opera and cyberpunk. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Read this book twice., 14 Sep 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Voice of the Whirlwind (Paperback)
Voice of the Whirlwind is a complex piece of work, and I'm not ashamed to say I didn't "get it" the first time through. For me it was the kind of novel that opens up like a lotus blossom on a second read, revealing the beauty within.

The contention over whether it's a sequel to Hardwired comes from it taking place in the same universe, but more than a century later. There's little to tie them together; the proper "sequel" to Hardwired is a short short called Solip:System, available in the Williams collection Frankensteins and Foreign Devils.
