She's been gigging her ass off to keep the lights on, chasing cheaters with Angel Herrera, a luddite P.I. who talks like a '40s movie detective. But that changes when Herrera's ex-best friend turns up murdered. Their only lead: a stick of Nag Champa incense dropped at the scene. Next thing Kiera knows, her new crush has disappeared, leaving nothing behind but a severed hand (the real one, not the cybernetic) and the familiar stink of sandalwood. Two crimes, two sticks of incense, Kiera framed for both. She told Herrera to lose her number after the last job, but now the old man might be her only way out of this mess...

Notă biografică

Aubrey Wood was born in California to a mixed-race couple and spent much of her childhood jumping back and forth between there and New Zealand until finally being trapped in a rural New Zealand hamlet at the age of 10. She has since spent most of her life in Auckland and on the internet. As a child Aubrey made picture books, as a teenager she furiously churned out fanfiction, and started trying to write professionally in 2011 after a brief and unsuccessful bid to become Trent Reznor. Bang Bang Bodhisattva is her debut novel.

Recenzii

Not only brings to the fore cyberpunk's noir antecedents, it also teases out themes around gender fluidity and identity with an abundance of intelligence, style and heart
Noir storytelling in a cyberpunk setting that utilizes and challenges both genres
Wood's punchy, pulpy style is well-suited to the subject matter, and noir fans will appreciate the many plot twists... fresh, exciting cyberpunk
Wood melds genres with ease - noir and cyberpunk, mystery and SF - in a wickedly funny and heart-wrenching, dystopian thrill ride
The perfect melting pot for genre lovers in need of a relevant and modern spin on futuristic crime thrillers
A joyous kaleidoscope of ideas, characters and genres... The story zips along at a nice pace, with plenty of dark humour to keep the reader entertained
I was not expecting these twists and turns... A high-octane race through Cyberpunk City, with pit stops for queer love and solidarity
Upbeat and full of stubborn, defiant, self-reinventing life. The doors of the future have closed, but we're still here, irrepressible and funny and sad and drunk on love. A crafty, intoxicating romp
The antidote to sci-fi as usual: Simultaneously gritty and shiny neon new, realist but not nihilist, unabashedly queer and endlessly inventive
High octane cyberpunk - entirely brilliant!
