Count Zero

Average rating4
Turner, corporate mercenary, wakes in a reconstructed body, a beautiful woman by his side. Then Hosaka Corporation reactivates him for a mission more dangerous than the one he's recovering from: Maas-Neotek's chief of R&D is defecting. Turner is the one assigned to get him out intact, along with the biochip he's perfected. But this proves to be of supreme interest to certain other parties--some of whom aren't remotely human.
Bobby Newmark is entirely human: a rustbelt data-hustler totally unprepared for what comes his way when the defection triggers war in cyberspace. With voodoo on the Net and a price on his head, Newmark thinks he's only trying to get out alive.
The second novel of William Gibson's Sprawl trilogy, *Count Zero* is a stylish, streetsmart, frighteningly probable parable of the future and sequel to Neuromancer.

Turner is a recently reconstructed mercenary who???s been hired by the Hosaka Corporation to extract Christopher Mitchell and his daughter Angie from Mitchell???s job at Maas Biolabs. Mitchell is the creator of the world???s first biochip, and he???s secretly agreed to move to Hosaka. Extracting an indentured research scientist is a deadly game, but Turner is one of the best.
Bobby ???Count Zero??? Newmark, who wants to be a console cowboy, has just pulled a Wilson (that means he majorly screwed up) on his first attempt at running an unknown ... Read More: http://www.fantasyliterature.com/reviews/count-zero/
Definitely not as engaging as Neuromancer. I never knew it was a trilogy way back when I first read Neuromancer. Thinking it shouldn't be. I probably won't read the next book.
