Review of 'Corsair' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

This was a delightful surprise. A near-future techno-thriller with a light touch of steel-hard sci-fi, Corsair feels like it's written by Tom Clancy's mischievous, anarchist kid sister or brother. This is a compliment, by the way. Whereas Clancy's characters would be stodgy and politically unpleasant, Cambias' are cheerfully amoral and chaotic, and the story is at its heart one of cops and robbers. Even when things get serious and nasty - and they do - the book never quite loses the feel of a dynamic adventure story.

Not a page is wasted and the conclusion is immensely satisfying.
