Cyberskin — Paul Collins

"Paul Collins has successfully created an apocalyptic action-packed nightmare, escalating some of our worst present day fears into the not so distant future." Nita Kambouris, Australian Book Review. "Cyberskin is strangely compelling and enjoyable contemporary science fiction, built around an off-kilter view of a world we may already inhabit." Michael Shuttleworth, The Sunday Age. "... Paul Collins deserves the title of 'Father of Contemporary Australian Genre Fiction ... Cyberskin has a wicked satirical setting ... it's a blazingly-paced techno-noir adventure." Robert Jan, Zero G, 3RRR. "Cyberskin is a highly creative - albeit at times disturbing - adventure that draws in the reader." Corinne Hotchkin, The Gazette. "Action-packed, hard-edged and exciting, this is Travis McGee in cyberspace all the way." Terry Dowling, The Australian. "It's got it all. Good plot, interesting characters and a morbidly fascinating setting. I'd certainly recommend it." George Ivanoff, Frontier. "Overall, CYBERSKIN is a great read. It's all those things other reviewers have said about it ... Slick... inventive... hard-edged... disturbing... morbidly fascinating... a blazingly-paced techno-noir adventure." Peter McNamara on radio Forthcoming reviews: "Cyberskin is way cool: this is cyber-streetsmart fiction that zooms along at the speed of light. This is tough, incisive thriller fiction." Van Ikin, Sydney Morning Herald. "Paul Collins' Cyberskin makes Bladerunner seem positively emaciated. Hard driving cyberpunk novel with a filmnoir backdrop". Colin Steele, The Canberra Times. Past reviews "Australia is not the science fiction capital of the world; in fact we are probably not even on the map. This unfortunate fact would change if we could produce more writers like Paul Collins". Michael Hanrahan, Australian Book Review. "Edgy, strange, disconcerting, alarming, as speculative fiction is supposed to be. Collins writes the definitive well-crafted, dangerous story". Kerry Greenwood, The Age
