Serandes: Corporation City by Frederick S. BlackmonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Serandes: Corporation City by Frederick S. Blackmon is such a fun book to read. Right from the start you get the sense of foreboding and trouble coming. The year is 2075. The city is Serandes. The writing is so descriptive, you feel you are there as the author opens the book with a harrowing scene of two men running down an alley. Their backgrounds are fully described, and you feel you know them. Fine writing indeed. This is the world of work, battle, scheme, or be eaten alive, and everyone except the elites must work and work hard. This is the underground, where rivals battle for control and more. A fascinating look at the deterioration of society when its value is based on consumerism, wealth, and corporate power. A rebel force is led by Tatem Montgomery and Shariff McDowell, men who have escaped the corporate culture, and become renegades if only for survival. But of course there is more, as powerful people are hell bent on control of the city. An amazing book that will keep you reading until the end. Looking forward to more from this author. Well done.
