Story is a little bit of a letdown. Let me explain - we are introduced into this alien galaxy where war is something that is fully commercialized, war parties fight under camera lenses and ever present commercials, soldiers get improved or lose their enhancements as combat takes place (once sponsors give up, soldier is left to his own devices). All of this happens under the auspices of control asteroid, mysterious star ship controlled by even more mysterious parties that see these direct-to-stream combat as a very useful way of controlling the population of the system and making sure everyone stays in their place.
Story is not bad, and if this went over multiple volumes it would make more sense. As it is, entire story line seems rushed and .... somehow incomplete. For example ending is very open ended - what actually happens is something left to the reader (although taking into account the dystopian atmosphere it is not so hard to imagine the final outcome).
So story is 2.7 points. I have a feeling they wanted to do more and then series was cut down.
What carries the entire book is gorgeous Esad Ribic's art. He manages to bring to life the entire universe, weird aliens, fractions participating in combat and finally the ever present commercials, news and (of course) censoring of the information when things go the other direction for the rulers-to-be.
Esad's work is straight 5 points.
Interesting book, a bit of disjointed story-line but gorgeous art.
Recommended to SF fans but be warned that story (as it is presented) might not be everyone's cup of tea..… (plus d'informations)
