A 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: to get a defecting chief of R&D-and the biochip he's perfected-out intact. But this proves to be of supreme interest to certain other parties-some of whom aren't remotely human.©1986 William Gibson (P)2009 Audible, Inc.

The best William Gibson novel out of the sprawl trilogy. Enjoyed every minute of it.

excellent!

The story is fun and interesting, eliciting a bit of nostalgia for the hay days of 80s Sci Fi. It continues the themes of neuromamcer and takes them in new exciting direction. I also very much enjoyed the performance of the narrator who has a pleasant voice and seemed to capture the differences in diction among characters well.

Quintesential cyberpunk

First of all, english is not my first language. But I never had any problems following any english audio books till now. (I've heard about 10 book in english)
But Gibsons writing style really hit a nerve with me. The first book in the sprawl trilogie, Neuromancer, was hard to follow. A lot of things are poorly explained, conversations were often like script dialogues. But it was only one plot threat.

In Count Zero you have three stories to follow and they only intertwine at the very end of the story. That makes it really difficult to pin any character to the right environment.

I never had any problems with english audio books until I heard this one. I had to read a summary to understand what was going on. And even then I would say the first book had better story development.

Good story but overly complicated

Zum Buch an sich möchte ich hier gar nichts sagen, da ich es noch nicht durch bin. Ich habe das Hörbuch nach ca. zwei Stunden abgebrochen, da ich den Sprecher auf Dauer unerträglich finde. Er macht oft lange, aus meiner Sicht übertriebene Pausen zwischen den Sätzen. Für mich ist dadurch das Zuhören zur Geduldsprobe statt zum Vergnügen geworden. Daher rate ich jedem, sich die Hörprobe genau anzuhören und auf die Sprechpausen zu achten.

Achtung: Sprecher nicht jedermanns Sache
