Syn City Legends

De: Edmund Hughes

Narrado por: Alex Ford

Cormac’s life used to be about racing hover cycles and partying on orbital stations. Fighting Syndicate sponsored assassins, uncovering ancient alien technology, and hiding his identity from Luna’s authorities are rather recent additions to his list of priorities.

He’s not alone, but that doesn’t make his life any simpler. Kiera, the exotic Earth maiden more versed in shooting a bow on horseback than riding in the passenger seat of a speeder. Mal, his childhood friend turned famous linestream actress. Nova, the cyborg killer who knows far more than she’s letting on.

With the help of his father’s legacy, Cormac has become more than he once was. Whether his newfound power leads him down a righteous path or a more interesting one remains an open question.

Warning: This novel contains graphic sex scenes and adult situations.

epic start

one of the only cyberpunk themed books ive ever liked. the main characters drove by revenge with exciting events all the way through. alex ford also did a fantastic job narrating this book.

Lots of sex not what I expected

This is a well executed book and not what I expected LOTS OF SEX
It’s like starving in front of people who are having a feast.

I don't know why the reviews aren't better!

I found this book highly entertaining. It's Iron Man without Tony Stark being an absolute genius, but still a shallow individual 💯. Straight 🔥

Well written adult-themed book

This is my first introduction to Edmund Hughes' writing and I was very impressed with his style. The opening dramatic scene was shocking, severe and poignant. From the cover art I was hoping it wasn't another harem novel and, as far as this book goes, it hadn't turned out that way; although, there was plenty of intimate encounters taking place. While these encounters were adult in nature, they weren't exploitative or harmful.

The plot itself was interesting but for all the intrigue, suspense, drama and romance there wasn't a lot of plot movement and, regrettably, it ended with a couple of gaping holes. Specifically, while the boss battle at the end was well done, the author left the final disposition of the antagonist somewhat vague. The author also left the identity of those responsible for the MC's family's assassinations still vague and nebulous. The MC is also not very likable, mostly coming off as a alcoholic loser who pines over the loss of his family but doesn't hesitate at a chance to bed every female that approaches him.

5 stars for Alex Ford for her excellent narrating performance of the story.

Another masterpiece!

Such an intriguing book that captivates you in the way many of Edmund Hughes's books Do! Also Alex Ford does an amazing job making the tale come to life! Already can't wait for book 2!

the main charecter

so main charecter has a fairly common issue ive seen with with this genre and thats that the main charecter has dumb ass hole syndrom. i get he went through alot of problems in his life but most of his problems come from his own ego and not willing to get over his own bullshit.
the dude is litterally a petulant child. if you can get past that cringe its a fun read.

Could of Been Better

The other negative reviews did a good job highlighting the problems with this book. The main character is portrayed as the family underachiever and isn't very likable. An example of which was his propensity to sleep around without the regard of the other women in his life.

SPOILER ALERT! The ending ruined it for me. I completely lost any hope of a suspension of disbelief when a character from a comparatively primitive society who had singular word communication skills was nonetheless able to operate a high tech piece of equipment with no prior training. That part struck me as sloppy writing. The background settings and descriptions were written well enough though. Nothing wrong with the performance.
