Cargando... Standard Hollywood Depravity (2017)por Adam Christopher
![]() Ninguno Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro. ![]() ![]() The setting is an alternate universe 1960s, the narrator, the last robot, a hard-as-nails detective/hitman robot in a noir universe of dames, hoods, and murderers for hire. In this short novel, which takes place over the course of one night in LA, our hero has an assignment: kill one Honey, a go-go dancer suspended in a cage above the dance floor of a nightclub in which he's watching her. Why he must kill her, and the adventure of the night, unfolds over the pages. Bullets fly, and Ray, in true noir-fiction mode, comments on all the goings on with the detachment, amusement necessary to this type of thriller. It's a very slight story, light on the plot, heavy on the atmosphere. The sci-fi element is a nice commentary: the impersonal, cold hitman in this type of fiction is now turned into a literal unfeeling character (the robot). Thank you to the author and publisher for a review copy. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

The moment Raymond Electromatic set eyes on her, he knew she was the dame marked in his optics, the woman that his boss had warned him about. Honey. As the band shook the hair out of their British faces, stomping and strumming, the go-go dancer's cage swung, and the events of that otherwise average night were set in motion. A shot, under the cover of darkness, a body bleeding out in a corner, and most of Los Angeles' population of hired guns hulking, sour-faced over un-drunk whiskey sours at the bar. But as Ray tries to track down the package he was dispatched to the club to retrieve, his own programming might be working against him, sending him down a long hall and straight into a mobster's paradise. Is Honey still the goal--or was she merely bait for a bigger catch? Just your standard bit of Hollywood depravity, as tracked by the memory tapes of a less-than-standard robot hitman. Standard Hollywood Depravity is a Ray Electromatic mystery by Adam Christopher. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
