Page "Market Forces" Paragraph 13
from
Wikipedia
In The Seattle Times, journalist and science fiction author Nisi Shawl tied the writing quality to the action scenes, " Morgan's talent for tension-building is matched by the clarity with which he describes the sideswiping, rubber-burning, rear-end-ramming, full-contact racing scenes.
" However, science fiction critic Robert K. J. Killheffer, in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, wrote " it's not his best — it lacks the dense and evocative background of his Takeshi Kovacs books, and Morgan is not as sure-handed with near-future situations and characters — but it takes chances and largely succeeds.
" Likewise, in the San Francisco Chronicle the reviewer wrote " In its present form, the novel feels bloated and obvious, despite the sharpness of the descriptive writing and a couple of first-rate fight sequences.
With the right artist, Market Forces might still make a compelling — and necessarily shorter — graphic novel.
" The Library Journal review ended with a recommendation: " Morgan's sf suspense belongs in most sf collections.
" The reviewer in Booklist concluded " It's not a particularly pleasant future, but Morgan paints it in broad strokes, drawing us into his future world and making it feel like a natural outgrowth of today ’ s corporate chicanery.
The novel might have been unremittingly bleak if it weren't for the moral center provided by Faulkner, who is a genuinely likable guy.
