Publisher Comments:

Turner, corporate mercenary, wakes in a reconstructed body, a beautiful woman by his side. Then Hosaka Corporation reactivates him for a mission more dangerous than the one he's recovering from: Maas-Neotek's chief of R&D is defecting. Turner is the one assigned to get him out intact, along with the biochip he's perfected. But this proves to be of supreme interest to certain other parties--some of whom aren't remotely human.

Bobby Newmark is entirely human: a rustbelt data-hustler totally unprepared for what comes his way when the defection triggers war in cyberspace. With voodoo on the Net and a price on his head, Newmark thinks he's only trying to get out alive. Until he meets the angel.

A stylish, streetsmart, frighteningly probable parable of the future.

: Katherine Stuart, November 19, 2008 (view all comments by Katherine Stuart)
I had so much fun on this trip. I loved the Count – this wannabe technogeek who’s just a punk. Something about Count Zero really tugged and that’s the first time one of Gibson’s characters has really gotten to me. Even if I’m not technically savy enough to get his title.

I also liked the loa which have this mystical edge. Of course it’s as technologically hip and as gritty as any of his stories and in some ways a continuation of the Neuromancer. Overall it’s a better effect than Neuromancer – possibly because it’s Gibson’s second novel. It works really well.
