zare_i's review against another edition
4.0
(Review, Jan 2nd 2023)
While cartoonish in some parts (I especially like all the comments around the panels :)) this is a serious thriller. Deunan and Briareos start the story as usual-tuesday raid on the arms smuggling ship. But what happens here is that ship is just an initial step in much more serious investigation - Olympus hosts international negotiations and it seems that somebody is very much dedicated to make sure they fail in billows of smoke and thunderous explosions.
From embassy attack by the unknown cyborg to highly sophisticated terrorist group infiltration this book is very, very dynamic and movie-like.
Until it ends mid-flight...... and this was a bummer. I dont know why it was never finished......
Rest of the book are discussions with the author and presentations of various mecha and society in the Appleseed universe.
If there was a conclusion story wise it would be straight five stars. As it is, I give it 4.
Highly recommended to fans of mecha and action-adventure SF.
