The 'Empire State' is a fantastical novel filled with noir detectives, battling rocket powered superheroes, a robot army and a mysterious Enemy, somewhere out in the fog.
In a city where it is always dark, the Empire State is a city at war. Ships filled with robots leave to fight the enemy, but none of these ships ever return. In the meantime, Rad Bradley is a private detective who has been hired to find a missing woman, but first, he needs to stop by Jerry's bar for a much needed drink.
There are some interesting surprises along the way, and I enjoyed it, but I did get a little weary of Rad always wanting a drink and explaining it in the narrative. The story is a bit confusing to start, but all becomes clear by the end, including, I suppose, Rad's continuous thirst. An interesting romp through an alternate New York city.
