Summary: Outward Bound Good Cyberpunk Book
Comment: Outward Bound
Outward Bound is an excellent science fiction book for either the science fiction fan or anyone looking for a good novel. The book is a short read that seems to go by rather quickly, which is a first for a slow reader like myself. The chapters are fairly short, but make the book easier to follow. I was definitely surprised that the book kept my attention, I could hardly set the novel down.
Linc Marani is a troubled teen who wants nothing more than to live the fast life. He runs into problems with the law and is turned to an alternative boot camp for youth. There he faces the adversity of his new and mysterious life. He interacts with many characters and problems, such as Angelo, the buddy, and Arvin, the bully. Tension rises when Arvin and Linc continue to butt heads and neither are willing to back down. The central theme is whether Linc will be able to turn his meaningless life around into something that is worth more than anything on this planet.
This is an uplifting story that gives hope that there are better things out there, showing that hard work and self control can get you somewhere in life. The technology is a little hard to follow but gets the point across. I was intrigued throughout the novel, this is the best science fiction book I have read, and I would rate it above the well known novels such as Blade Runner, Snow Crash, and Shockwave Rider. James P. Hogan's Outward Bound is just an entertaining, feel good novel.

Summary: Light, pleasant YA novel
Comment: Hogan is one of my favorite hard-science sf writers. Here, he
attempts a Heinleinesque juvenile novel, and does a pretty good job of it. This short book is a quick, light, pleasant read. It's pretty formulaic--an angel-with-a-dirty face kid from the
wrong side of the tracks, right on the verge of going permanently bad, ends up in a tough-love bootcamp, which
straightens him out. Nothing great, and certainly not for adults, but preteens should enjoy it.
