nigellicus 's review for:
Titanium Noir
by Nick Harkaway
adventurous
dark
mysterious
tense
I somewhat approve of accomplished writers producing shorter books rather than leaning into the usual bloat. Not that I'd turn down a doorstopper by Harkaway or Cruz Smith, but their current offerings feel well crafted and expertly accomplished.
In this vaguely dystopian world - although it doesn't differ apreciably from our own except in a few crucial ways - the very rich can afford a medical treatment that prolongs thier lives and enlarges their bodies. They are the Titans, and when a dead body turns out to be one of them, a specialist consultant is called in to sort it out. This particular case will take him raight back to his own connections with the original and still controlling Titan family, with all the dangers that go with that, including emotional, given that one of them is his ex.
This is cool sci-fi noir fun in Harkaway's distinct style, voice and outlook.
