Fall of the Core: Netcast Zero by Ryk Brown
On my Amazon Wish List, I had noted that this was recommended by my friend Curt on 6/20/2015. I don’t remember him recommending it… but if I wrote it, it’s probably true. I need to check with him.
This is very much a short story, and from reviews and descriptions, it seems to be a pre-quel sort of short story for a longer series. Set several hundred years from now, this is a computer virus/real virus scenario. I’m guessing the virus lays the groundwork for the rest of the series.
It was fine. There was nothing particularly striking about the book. The writing was of middling quality for a sci-fi book. Maybe I shouldn’t judge the series based on this pre-quel? Need to check with Curt on that.
