Frank Burns reviewed The Execution Channel by Ken MacLeod
Review of 'The Execution Channel' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
This was a re-read but it turned out I had very little memory of the original read. I wanted to fill in the gaps in my Ken MacLeod reading and this was the last of that. This was all over the shop so I understand why it never stuck in my head. The spy sub-plot was too obtuse, some of the character's motivations poorly mapped and it just ends with no real resolution. There are parts that stand out and the title concept, The Execution Channel, is genius but the story itself is average. Hence my three stars.
