975.0. "CYBERNETIC SHOGUN ?????" by YUPPY::MCINTYRE () Wed Apr 24 1991 13:11

    
    
    I'm looking for a book I saw in a bookshop in London about 6 months
    ago. I read the back cover and decided to buy the book (and it's
    predecessor)..unfortunatley I was distracted and then forgot to
    purchase the book..when I went back it was gone, and wouldn't you know
    it..I'd forgotten the Author  BUT NOT THE TITLE..haha
    
    The book was called the CYBERNETIC SHOGUN and was either part one or
    part two of a series..
    
    Can anyone tell me the Author or anything about the books.
    
    Many thanks in advance

975.1	Samurai part 2 ?	TROA02::SKEOCH	Godzilla vs. the Smurfs	`Wed Apr 24 1991 20:09`	10
	Perhaps it is the sequel to CYBERNETIC SAMURAI, by Victor Milan, published by ACE in December 1986. I'd like to find it too, if it is. Cheers, Ian S.
975.2	yeeee-haw...	YUPPY::MCINTYRE		`Fri Apr 26 1991 09:02`	13
	Ian...YOU GOT IT...Victor Milan was the author, and I also now remember the title of the first book..you guessed..Cybernetic Samurai. Have you read the Samurai ? I shall be ordering both books today from Forbidden Planet on New Oxford Street. Thanks for the help. Tom
975.3	Samurai was a good read	TROA01::SKEOCH	Godzilla vs. the Smurfs	`Fri Apr 26 1991 14:02`	13
	I enjoyed Samurai -- an interesting idea. Be sure and post a review of SHOGUN as soon as you can! (Actually, I probably won't wait for your review -- I'm leaving on holidays tomorrow, and I'll be checking the bookstores!) Cheers, Ian S.

	I enjoyed "Cybernetic Samurai", except for the soft-porn parts. Not that I'm a prude, but it seemed more like an obligatory throw-in just to broaden the market. It hearkens back to the days of cruddy pulps with half-naked maidens about to be violated by the evil monsters. This ain't some TV mini-series with Joan Collins...
