Avery Cates

I forget who recommended Jeff Somers' Avery Cates series to me, but thank you for doing so. I just started Eternal Prison after devouring the first two. Good stuff. Not very polished, but he makes up for it with sheer grit.

I just started Terminal State. (book 4) If yer in the mood for some in-your-face cyberpunk with a likable anti-hero, check out this series. Hell, it's not even really cyberpunk. It's more like a post-apocalyptic kick in the nards with a bit'o New Jersey sensibility thrown in.

Gibson, Stephenson, Morgan, Effinger, Dick, Bacigalupi, etc, are all much better writers than Sommers, but this series goes down like a nice, honest slug of rotgut.
