Historia
Spyder Lee is a happy man who lives in San Francisco and owns a tattoo shop. One night an angry demon tries to bite his head off before he's saved by a stranger. The demon infected Spyder with something awful - the truth. He can suddenly see the world as it really is: full of angels and demons and monsters and monster-hunters. A world full of black magic and mysteries. These are the Dominions, parallel worlds full of wonder, beauty, and horror

Historia
When he was 19, James Stark was considered to be one of the greatest natural magicians, a reputation that got him demon-snatched and sent downtown - to Hell - where he survived as a gladiator, a sideshow freak entertaining Satan's fallen angels. That was 11 years ago. Now, the hitman who goes only by Stark has escaped and is back in L.A. Armed with a fortune-telling coin, a black bone knife, and an infernal key, Stark is determined to destroy the magic circle.

Historia
From the best-selling author of the Sandman Slim series, a lush, dark, stand-alone fantasy built off the insurgent tradition of China Mieville and M. John Harrison - a subversive tale that immerses us in a world where the extremes of bleakness and beauty exist together in dangerous harmony in a city on the edge of civility and chaos. The Great War is over. The city of Lower Proszawa celebrates the peace with a decadence and carefree spirit as intense as the war’s horrifying despair.

In upstate New York, in the woods around Woodstock, Dutchman's Creek flows out of the Ashokan Reservoir. Steep-banked, fast-moving, it offers the promise of fine fishing, and of something more, a possibility too fantastic to be true. When Abe and Dan, two widowers who have found solace in each other's company and a shared passion for fishing, hear rumors of the Creek, and what might be found there, the remedy to both their losses, they dismiss it as just another fish story.

Not quite undead, though not alive either, the best he can hope for is to work off his servitude and fade away. His not-so-sacred duty as a Hand of God? Use his new abilities to hunt down demonic beings that have infiltrated the mortal realm. This time, the White Throne has sent him to the middle of nowhere: a Western town called Dead Acre with a saloon, a moldy church, and little else worth talking about. There isn’t even a sheriff.

In the more shadowy corners of the world, frequented by angels and demons and everything in between, Laytham Ballard is a legend. It's said he raised the dead at the age of 10, stole the Philosopher's Stone in Vegas back in 1999, and survived the bloodsucking kiss of the Mosquito Queen. Wise in the hidden ways of the night, he's also a cynical bastard who stopped thinking of himself as the good guy a long time ago.

Classic Cyberpunk
Great narration and story. Would like to listen again. Story complex, rich with detail, honed with a sweet edge of pulp sci-fi. Beautiful writing.

This is how Cyberpunk should be done!
What did you love best about Metrophage?
It is just archtype cyberpunk. I'd put this up there with William Gibson or walter Jon Williams. It seems a bit dated now, but he nails the genre so perfectly you can't help but love it.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Metrophage?
Just the imagery throughout the story is worth a listen all by itself. The story and characters are great but the author pays such attention to every little detail. It's mind-boggling.
Have you listened to any of Peter Ganim’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I have not heard any other performance of Mr. Ganim's previously. He has a rich smooth voice and has a good range of voices. I'd love to hear him on some other books.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Metrophage. LA is in flames.
Any additional comments?
This is a great book. Be advised this is not Sandman Slim. The tone and writing are much different , but excellent nonetheless. The story has a few explict sex scenes and lots viloence and drug use (staples of cyberpunk literature). So, definitely not for the kiddies. I strongly recommed this book if you love cyberpunk.

The End of Cyberpunk
Mandatory reading for cyberpunk fans.
Distopian LA is a great setting.
The book feels like the next step in cyberpunk, or the last step- as it doesn’t have the cliches one might expect.

Cyberpunk to the core
This book eats, sleeps, bleeds the cyberpunk aesthetic. With a lot of references to classic sci-fi, intersposed with relatively poetic writing. I enjoyed the story, and the setting and characters were all wonderfully stylized and functional. The only complaint I have is that the overarching plot I found hard to follow.

I don't see the appeal. There's very little story
The whole book is a pretty good tour through an atopic future LA, but the main character is useless and never really gets any better. The plot makes little sense and tries to come together at the end but mostly fails. The book wanders from one violent event to another with little to hold it together. Kadrey tries to be William Gibson and doesn't get there.

A Clear World
Kadrey etches the futuristic world, the picture becomes ever more clear and detailed as the tale moves forward.
I've seen this called Cyberpunk, it fits.
Continuity isn't the easiest when it comes to a believable futuristic story.
Points for Kadrey.
Peter Ganim was, as always, fantastic.

Way Unimpressed
Would you try another book from Richard Kadrey and/or Peter Ganim?
I have read all of the Sandman Slim Series and the Butcher Bird novel. Crazy about about them all.
Has Metrophage turned you off from other books in this genre?
No.
Would you be willing to try another one of Peter Ganim’s performances?
No. Not a fan of his delivery at all.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Disappointment. I wasn't impressed with the writing (oy vey the number of times the phrase "You really don't know" was used to set-up exposition) or the narration. I found Peter's performance too monotonous.
Any additional comments?
If this is your first Richard Kadrey novel, buy it. Because you will find all the rest of the author's work to be a ridiculous improvement.

Just can't get into to.
Let me start by saying I love Richard Kadrey. I have all the Sandman Slim Novels so far and love them. However, this title does not hold my interest. I have never been a big fan of the cyberpunk genre. But I thought I would give this a try since I love a lot of his other work. Unfortunately, I do not like this one. I think the most annoying thing about this book is that it is a dystopian society (which is fine) but nothing is explained. There is apparently a war going on between what is left of the US and the Middle East, there is a group called the committee (are they the police, I don't know), and different criminal groups. All of these elements are fine, however, nothing has been really explained. Maybe this is not germane to the story but I find it annoying, it is like walking in on the middle of the movie and trying to figure out the plot. Maybe it will be explained later, but frankly, I don't care to listen to the rest of it to find out. So I returned this one without finishing it.
