2XS, THE HALLUCINOGENIC CHIP OF CHOICE…

To Excess—that's how they say it on the streets…before it destroyed their minds.

Private detective Dirk Montgomery thinks he knows those streets. He's watched the change with the world, as the powers of magic grow and alter the balances of power. He thinks he understands even the deepest shadows and the darkest of hearts. He is wrong.

I first read this book in the early nineties when it was first published and had fond recollections of it. I was a little bit apprehensive about whether it would have stood the test of time but when it appeared on sale in Audible I thought it was worth a try.

And I was not disappointed! Great voice acting by both narrators, the book style is "film noir" transposed to the Shadowrun world and it's a fun and gripping listen (or read).

I'm now going to investigate other audiobooks narrated by these two actors and other books written by Nigel Findley, although whilst listening to 2XS I found out that Mr Findley died at a fairly young age, only a few years after 2XS was published, which I was sad to learn.

Really fun story with two excellent voice actors

What stood out the most? Misogyny. Cliches, boring toxic masculinity and constant casual misogyny.
