Into Twilight has the necessary depth to shine this isn’t indie dumpster-diving, but well-tailored storytelling. What’s more interesting is it’s set within a cyberpunk enclosure most of today’s cyberpunk is rank-and-file filler, without the genius that went into genre leaders like Neuromancer or Altered Carbon. What follows is a redemption story, embedded within an overt plot of “assassinating a US Sentator.” It reads like a spy thriller, with intricate shadow-behind-the-throne subplots. The opening sequence sees Mendoza sanded down by road rash in a brutal combat scene. The story follows Stefan Mendoza, a sometime soldier, full-time gangster assassin. It’s one of the rare few that made me impulse-buy the sequel without checking blurbs or reviews. Spoilers: PR Adams’ Into Twilight is good. If you like street-smart soldiers, complex conspiracies, and immersive sci-fi settings, then you'll love P.R. Into Twilight is the first book in The Stefan Mendoza Trilogy of high-octane cyberpunk techno-thrillers. Trapped within a hotbed of corruption, can Mendoza exact his revenge and win his freedom or will he spiral deeper into the twisted game of brokered death? When he discovers he’s competing with other assassins for the same political target, he starts to piece together a sinister conspiracy that could lead him straight to the shadowy figure behind his betrayal. But his high-tech recovery comes at a heavy price-an assassination hit on a rising political star.įilled with resentment for the cutthroat world of contract killers, he uses the hit job as a cover to track down the traitor. On the verge of a systems failure, he taps into his underground network for a set of cybernetic limbs. So when a traitor betrays his black-ops team, he alone pushes through the torture and escapes with revenge burning in his mind. When he’s double-crossed by one of his own, he’ll stop at nothing to take out the trash.
