Cowboy Bebop: A Syndicate Story

Red Planet Requiem

By: Sean Cummings

Narrated by: Pun Bandhu

Discover the origins of the classic rivalry between Spike and Vicious amongst the dark underbelly of Mars, 2061, in this prequel novel to the upcoming Netflix series Cowboy Bebop.

The year is 2061. The Red Dragon Crime Syndicate is king, and for all those lucky enough to be members of this crime family, life is damn good.

Well, not for everyone.... For two entry-level gangsters in Tharsis City, Mars, life in the Syndicate isn’t quite all guns and glamour. That’s right. Long before they were mortal enemies, Spike Spiegel and Vicious were just two friends clawing their way up the crime ladder and trying to have a little fun while doing it.

But when an opportunity to pull a job for their boss arises, it’s make-or-break time. Literally. All they have to do is deliver a suitcase. How hard could it be?

You ready for some history tellin'...space cowboy?

I'm so glad

I'm so glad cowboy bebop is making a comeback it's my favorite anime even my favorite show of all time this gives some much need e backstory on spike and vicious I loved it and hope to see more

An interesting take on the back story of Spike!

A great story with lots of action. It kept me listening attentively to the story and action. I think people have been super hard on new Cowboy Bebop stuff coming out, but I've enjoyed it. This sheds some light onto how the characters came to be in a real human way while still showing some of the finer details of the universe.

Great visit to the pre world of bebop

I’ve seen criticism about this and the reboots and I say to those-shhhhhh it’s amazingly good and you will get it later. Thank you to the authors and actors who have made this revisit to bebop possible. I wish there was more!!

fast paced, detailed, well done all around

this was an unexpected joy to read. watched first half of the streaming episode and I will go back but that is why I picked this to begin with. and very easterly surprised. ot had it all.
