Dickson does it again. With fully developed characters (including a bot named Petey) an intriguing plot, and a smooth writing style the author introduces us to the world of Colt Coltrane.In a world where WWII nets us some futuristic robot tech from the Japanese, Detective Colt Coltrane does his level best to scrape together a living as a private eye.He's grown accustomed to the seedy side of his business, catching cheating dames and unfaithful fellas. In fact he's become stuck in a rut of sorts when our femme fatale enters the scene and turns his world upside down.Does this broken down gumshoe still have enough of what it takes to follow the clues that will lead him right into the most astonishing, terrifying case of his career? You'll have to read it to find out. I don't think you'll be disappointed, I sure wasn't.
