I have already read Kelly’s first book WebMage (book 1 in her Ravirn series) and I will have to say I enjoyed it. I particularly like the way she combines technology and magic. There is always the problem of too much Deus Ex Machina though and not enough clever writing but I think that goes with territory of writing this kind of book. Check out Cybermancy and Codespell(pre-order) books 2 and 3 of her Ravirn series.

Recently I read Jeff’s book the “The Electric Church” and found it a good read. He has just released his new book “The Digial Plague” and you can buy it Amazon. I never really reviewed his first book, so I will give you a quick insight into his writing style. Jeff Somer’s writing style is reminiscent of Frank Miller’s Sin City or probably more accurately of the hard-boiled detective stories of the 20’s and 30’s. The book is very readable and the characters are definitely anti-heroes. Technology plays 2nd fiddle to the storyline and is not too inventive thought I am not sure how important that is with this kind of story.
