Imperial Bounty is the second volume in the McCade series., May 29, 1999
Reviewer:

Imperial Bounty is the second volume in the ongoing adventures of wise cracking, cigar chomping,
bounty hunter Sam McCade. Prince Alexander is missing, and unless McCade can find him, the heir's
evil sister will steal the throne. Like all of the McCade books Imperial Bounty makes use of numerous
ongoing characters--and this volume is the one in which I introduce a cyborg named "Cy Borg." A name
assumed by a man who gambled his body away. Cy makes an appearance in one of the Pik Lando
novels as well. I mention that because the whole notion of human brains (or alien brains for that matter)
living within some sort of machine continues to fascinate me. Some argue that the purpose of Science
Fiction is to discuss what it means to be human. If so, what better way to attack that question than to
remove the organ that we generally view as being the center of our earthly existence and place it into an
artificial context? How will such individuals view themselves? Deal with those who remain in biological
bodies? Cope with extended life spans? Those questions and many more are just part of the reason why
I continue to write about cyborgs in books like Legion Of The Damned, the Final Battle, By Blood
Alone, and, in the summer of 2000, By Force of Arms. Humans who have mechanical parts have
become commonplace--machines that include human parts are on the way.

Reviewer:

This is not so much about "Imperial Bounty" is as it as about Dietz as a writer. I am completely
shocked that his writings don't have any reviews. At least that's the case for some of the titles i've seen.
Anyway my point is that i have grabbed up every non star wars book that the man has read and just love
his writing. I was not aware that he is writing about star wars, but i guess i know what i'm gonna be
reading in the upcoming months. My science fiction writers are Simmons, W. Michael Gear, James
Halperin, Niven, Pournelle, Drake, and Poul Anderson. Dietz is right up there with the best of them!
