Reviews
You don't have to play the Xbox 360 video game "Perfect Dark Zero" to enjoy this book even though the novel based on the game. Anyone can enjoy the story of a future in which five giant corporations control the world. Ex-bounty hunter Joanna Dark tries to bring down the worst of the bunch. The half of the book read by Orlagh Cassidy is superior to the parts read by Scott Sowers. Sowers isn't bad, but Cassidy is special, partly because of her ability to mimic accents. She does at least three flawlessly. The undercurrent of tension in her voice adds to the charged atmosphere. Rucka knows how to create a universe, and Cassidy makes it real.
