People are expressing their feelings in a healthy manner, reduced to tears in solidarity and commiting no atrocities. The entire conflict would be solved by just talking in the first three chapters. There's some good lore building and combat, but beyond that, this wasn't for me.

This is one of the most hypermasculine series I've ever read and somehow has the most accurate description of a naive couples first serious relationship. It's impressive as hell.

The surface of Venus is the most hellish place in the solar system, its ground hot enough to melt aluminum, its air pressure high enough to crush spacecraft landers like tin cans, its atmosphere a choking mix of poisonous gases. This is where the frail young Van Humphries must go—or die trying.

A spoiled, entitled trust fund baby with zero concept of a healthy human relationship decides to go to Venus.
And yet, somehow, he's more capable and competent than either Musk or Bezos.
Stefan Rudnicki continues to provide a great performance.

It is the autumn of 1880, and Dr. John Watson has just returned from Afghanistan. Badly injured and desperate to forget a nightmarish expedition that left him doubting his sanity, Watson is close to destitution when he meets the extraordinary Sherlock Holmes, who is investigating a series of deaths in the Shadwell district of London. Several bodies have been found, the victims appearing to have starved to death over the course of several weeks, and yet they were reported alive and well mere days before.

If you're looking for true Lovecraft or Doyle, you'd have better luck looking for true Jane Austin from Pride & Prejudice & Zombies. The author is clear with his inspiration and motivation in the Forward, even if it's in-character.
"Liberals" being mentioned more than once, including by a copper complaining about liberals taking issue with poilce violence, was a bit odd though.
Otherwise it's significantly better than most other crossover attempts out there. The quality narration by Mr. Kleinman helps immensely.

A whole lot of closure.
Reviewed: 05-18-22
I'm really glad I finished the trilogy. Overdrive ties up and gives closure to a lot of stories and characters from the previous books.
The Sprawl Trilogy is basically the Lord of The Rings of the Cyberpunk genre. The same way you can see how Tolkien's work continues to influence the Fantasy genre, you can absolutely see how Gibson influenced, and continues to influence, the Cyberpunk genre.

It was Cobb Anderson who built the "boppers" - the first robots with real brains. Now, in 2020, Cobb is just another aged "pheezer" with a bad heart, drinking and grooving on the old tunes in Florida retirement hell. His "bops" have come a long way, though, rebelling against their subjugation to set up their own society on the moon. And now they're offering creator Cobb immortality but at a stiff price: his body his soul... and his world.

A surreal experience where everyone is a garbage person to some degree. Whether they're drunks, addicts, killers, cops or boppers. Hi-tech lowlifes indeed.

Rifts happen, so you should be ready when universes collide. A policy with Stranger & Stranger can cover all of your interdimensional insurance needs.

Reviewed: 03-07-22
Credit where due, Adam Baldwin is a talented performer. But this is still 2+ hours of complaining about Biden, Obama, Gender Studies, participation awards and "Kids these days." It also devolves into self-insert fiction at one point talking about how, in one reality, the author could've been a successful arm manufacturer. I'm not kidding.
