![]() Overall, I would definitely recommend this novel to any fan of the games or cyberpunk genre. By avoiding pretention and sticking to presenting solidly defined characters and a fast-moving plot, Rucka presents a novel that's a pleasant read and a cut above the usual franchise-spinoff fare. The story moves quickly with an overdose of action, suitably over-the-top villains, and enough background detail so that people who haven't played the Perfect Dark games (like me) can easily follow the plot without needing a reference guide. ![]() Showing improvement over the first book in the series (always a good sign), the second Perfect Dark novel by Greg Rucka is a classic example of what I like to call Cyberpunk-Lite: an action thriller set in a dystopian future similar to that of the Bladerunner cyberpunk genre but shorn of the extensive and often meandering ruminations on the nature of humanity that genre features. In order to clear her name and save the world from a shadowy force called the Continuity Joanne Dark goes rouge in hopes of stopping this new threat from her past. Only to learn that major CEOs of various Mega corporations are turning up Dead by an assassin looking like her. Joanna Dark returns to the the Carrington Institute exhausted and injured. Taking place right after the events of Perfect: Dark Zero. Joanna Dark is an ex-bounty hunter who has seen this war for herself: she finds herself in the center of a conflict which brings her face to face with corporate and personal evil in this riveting thriller. It tells of a future world in which Mega corporations control everything and use their own military forces to fight each other without public knowledge. PERFECT DARK: Second Fount, continues the story featured in the 2005 Xbox 360 game PERFECT DARK ZERO. ![]() Perfect Dark: Second Front by Greg Rucka is a video game tie-in novel based on Rare Studios Perfect Dark game Franchise.
