SciFi Month 2024 - The Friday 56 (With Book Beginnings): Noir by K W. Jeter


     

  

On Friday's I take part in two weekly link ups - The Friday 56, hosted by by Anne @ My Head Is Full of Books, and Book Beginnings, hosted by Rose City Reader.  For The Friday 56, you choose a book, a book you have just finished, a book you are about to start, your current read, and share a line or a few lines that grab you (but don't spoil anything) from page 56 or 56% of the way through the ebook. Post it and share your post's url on Freda's most recent Friday 56 post. As for Book Beginnings, you share the first sentence or so and your initial thoughts, impressions, or whatever else it inspires, and then link up your post's url with Rose City Reader. 

Happy Friday everyone!  This week I'm spotlighting one of my SciFi Month 2024 reads, Noir by K.W. Jeter.  By the way, SciFi Month is a month long celebration of all things sci-fi and it's hosted by Lisa @ Dear Geek Place, Imyril @ There's Always Room For One More, Annemieke @ A Dance With Books, and Mayri @ Book Forager (Image credit: Artwork by Sxwx).  This cyberpunk standalone sounds like it has potential.  Without further ado, let's get to it:

Beginning:

At that moment, as the blue spark of sex burned a wire through his tongue, the heavens rained fire 

56:

That people engineered, with all the craft and will they could summon, their own annihilations.


Have you read this book and are you participating in SciFi Month 2024?  As always, thanks for visiting my blog and perhaps even commenting down below!

  1. I haven't read this book. It seems interesting, though, and I like the quote for the 56.

  2. What? "As the blue spark of sex burned a wire through his tongue..." That would be enough for me to swear of the act. Ha!
