Cyber Shogun Revolution (A United States of Japan… di Peter Tieryas

(2.25 Stars)

I really liked the 2nd book in this series, this one just didn't work for me. I just had a really hard time getting into it. I really liked the descriptions of the mechs but the characters that were in both books didn't really seem to act the same from last book to this one; they seemed very flat.

United States of Japan di Peter Tieryas

Alt-history. What if Japan and Germany won? Japan got the atomic bomb first and used it on the US. They divide up the US and there is no one to stop the cruelty of the captors. The George Wahingtons are leading the resistance but there is a terrible price to be paid on both sides. Strong characters, interesting varient.

United States of Japan di Peter Tieryas

The setup and the twist at the end were clever. The rest of the book was rather dull. Maybe I'm not into anime enough to appreciate all the pop references and lifted ideas. A reasonably quick read and the cover should set up your exceptions correctly which the book delivers on with an unexpected bonus of torture porn. Maybe this would work better as a TV show, would justify one stand-out shortcoming: you don't have to pay for expensive sets in a book so you don't have to compress back-stories into awkwardly expository dialogue.

It shares nothing with Man in the High Castle except the idea of USA under Japanese occupation which is shown in a less plausible way than by PKD which I guess is exceptional in a way. The Japanese in the book are a caricature from WWII propaganda dialled to 11.… (altro)
