I am a big lover of the initial parts of the Riddick series (Pitch Black and the director's cut of Chronicles of Riddick) and a fan of Alan Dean Foster's work. I found this adaptation to be pretty standard, not really adding to the mythos in a meaningful way (as Foster did in Alien & Aliens adaptations) but not detracting from it easy. Overall, just an okay read.
This is a fascinating must-read for any occultist (or fan of the weird). The articles are a mix of truly mind-altering viewpoints on the world, history, and rants that will make your head spin.

I appreciate the world building but didn't fall quite in much in love with it as others did. While it's a solid piece of work for about 2/3 of the novel, I found the noir too predictable and the exploration of self in an age of downloading personalities was handled better in 1987's Vacuum Flowers (Michael Swanwick). At the last third, I was uncomfortable with the tonal change; it felt more like a Shadowrun game than the previous segments (or Neuromancer, if you prefer a book to an RPG).
Don't get me wrong; it's still a decent enough read and Richard K. Morgan is a solid writer. I just wished it had reached a little more. Then again, I'm a Neal Stephenson fan so I'm used to authors going -way- out there!
