absolutely amazing

Behind Blue Eyes is compelling and gripping. Cyberpunk at its finest.

The world is dark and deep yet something makes me want to live in it and experience what it would be like to be a bad ass cyborg.

With tons of action and mystery. I can't recommend this series enough.

Three Awesome Cyberpunk Books for the Price of One

The first three books in the Behind Blue Eyes series have it all. action, suspense, sex, and intrigue. Olympus City is aa spotless look at the future that hides a dark and gritty under belly. The most dangerous thing might be the guardian angels built to protect her. By the end you will question who is good and who is evil.

A fantastic cyberpunk adventure.

Behind Blue Eyes is a new entry into the resurgent cyberpunk genre, which had sort of been
left for dead for quite a few years, but is thankfully seeing something of a resurgence. As we
come to the years when the Cyberpunk of the 80’s was set in, it’s fun seeing what came true
and what didn’t. With Behind Blue Eyes, we get to see a bit further down the road, in a
Cyberpunk world set in a time where nations have fallen, and everything is controlled by three
Mega-Corporations set up in various mega-cities in the ruins of the old world. This very
cyberpunk world has all the social inequities you’d expect, with the haves and have-nots very
much separated. The propaganda machine and societal changes ensure obedience, as a
very modern form of bread and circuses has developed. And just behind the scenes in the
mega-city of Olympias are the Angels, the not so mythical cyborg enforcers of order in the
regime.
This is where Nephilim and her fellow angels come in. Nephilim is a ruthless agent of the
regime, the perfect assassin and soldier, equally adept at disappearing dissidents and fighting
cyborgs from rival mega-corps. She is the perfect tool of the order, ready for greater things,
including being made an Archangel, one of the leaders of the cyborg soldiers. Perfect, that is,
until a freak encounter with another cyborg send Nephilim on a path she couldn’t ever have
seen coming, as she is given something no other Angel has: A choice. A choice to continue
being a weapon in the service of Olympias or going her own path, and this choice has
consequences for not only her, but for Olympias and the greater world in general.
The protagonist can only be as good as the villains they are fighting against, and in this case,
Nephilim has not only rival corporation’s cyborgs to deal with, but also Metatron, the leader of
the Angels, and the biggest threat to Nephilim if she goes off the rails of her pre-planned life.

He is such a well thought out character, always seeming a step ahead, always that menace
that holds the sword of Damocles over all their heads, ready to remove those heads if they fail
to comply. Nephilim plays off his menace well, and you can only hope as the story goes that
she is able to find a way out from under his seemingly all-seeing gaze.
This new breed of cyberpunk plays homage to the classics by writers like William Gibson, but
goes in it’s own distinct direction, never feeling derivative. It’s got those interesting
speculations about what the fairly near future will hold, and you can tell the author put a lot of
effort into creating a world the reader can become immersed in, and will definitely have some
interesting possibilities in future stories. I can see this story appealing to fans of traditional
cyberpunk, and fans of sci-fi in general. I recommend this book wholeheartedly.

Gritty Dark but heavy on erotica

While I did like the story and set up, the setting and characters. I had to stop when it just kept going on and on about sex. Like a good 40% of the story is about sex, fetish, kinks and abuse.

Once we got to the LEGAL child brothel slaves, I was out and tried a bit more but it just got more and more focused on a cheap erotica novel instead of story plot.
