I received a galley from the publisher via NetGalley.

<I>Cyber Shogun Revolution</I> is a stand-alone book set is the same alternate history universe as Tieryas's United States of Japan. Reminiscent of the classic <i>Man in the High Castle</i>, Nazi Germany rules eastern America while Japan holds domination over the west—but both sides possess mechas and other advanced tech. Tieryas grew up on video games and anime, and inspirations and Easter eggs are everywhere in his books. This adds to the inherent awesomeness. It is so easy to imagine these books as an anime.

This novel has intense, near non-stop action and twists and turns as pilot Reiko and feared secret policeman Bishop struggle to find and stop a rogue agent dubbed Bloody Mary who seems intent to destroy the United Stated of Japan without regard for civilian collateral damage. War is shown at its ugliest, and it's clear that there is no ‘good’ government to root for here. This is not a vapid thriller. This book--as with the others--is packed with genuine heart that makes the battles sequences and sorrows all the more profound.

Plots within plots circle each other in Cyber Shogun Revolution. In a future where Japan and the Nazis split America after winning World War II, many parties struggle for power in the Japan-occupied West Coast. Best for people who love the idea of giant fighting robots and secret societies.
