5.0 out of 5 stars Intelligent science fiction., 29 Jul 2005
For those open-minded enough to enjoy possibilities over optimistic political dogma, Hammered sketches an unsettling vision of the future as a background to a story of dangerous drugs, cybernetic implants, alien spacecraft, and an artificial intelligence that's neither sweetly helpful nor murderously insane.

Yes, there's a smattering of French. But the complaints seem rather silly since much of what's important is translated and what isn't might well be better left to the imagination: obscenities sound so much sexier with a French accent.

What matters is that the story grabbed my attention, kept me reading with great enjoyment right to the end, and that there were genuine surprises along the way (Ms Bear is not afraid to kill people). It's an excellent read and I'm very glad that the second book in the series is already available and the third will be so shortly.

3.0 out of 5 stars Synopsis, 7 Feb 2007
The following is a synopsis from the author's official page:

"The waters have risen. The wars have been fought. And the only way forward is through one woman's mind....
Once Jenny Casey was somebody's daughter. Once she was somebody's enemy. Now, the former Canadian special forces warrior lives on the hellish streets of Hartford, Connecticut in the year 2062. Racked with pain, hiding from the government she served, running with a crime lord so she can save a life or two, Jenny is a month shy of fifty, and her artificially reconstructed body has started to unravel. But she is far from forgotten. A government scientist needs the perfect subject for a high-stakes artificial intelligence project, and has Jenny in his sights.

Suddenly, Jenny Casey is a pawn in a furious battle, waged in the corridors of the internet, on the streets of battered cities, and in the complex wirings of her half manmade nervous system. And she needs to gain control of the game, before a brave new future spins completely out of control."
