Why read it?
1 author picked Midnight, Water City as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is a cyberpunk novel, and while most books in that genre focus more on characters like criminals or rebels, this one narrows in on a former police detective and private security contractor.

From Sean-Michael's list on blue collar sci-fi and horror.
