“Guess who?”

A tense moment

For the first post, a nice easy one:

Angel sat back in her chair. Through her mirrorshades she watched the Russian pace the balcony. As he spoke into his phone, a gust of wind blew through the doors to her - rotting chrome and burnt neon. She shivered.

The sun dimmed as he walked back in, gray static clouds behind. “Is done.” His face was a patchwork of scars, his hair patchy from old radiation damage.

Angel shrugged. “So, good buddy, we can deal?”

“Yes. Weapons will be delivered tomorrow, you give me data now.”

Think you know who it’s meant to be?  Leave a comment!

    My first guess was Gibson, but given that that’s taken I’ll guess Neal Stephenson, or maybe Le Carre, or maybe Cory Doctorow.

    It’s obvious it’s that trailtracer grinning fool, Eoin Colfer with another shoddy installment of Artemis Fowl and the Farting Dwarf…

    I predict your next one will be Iain Banks, or Iain M. Banks.

    That’s very Gibson.

    Thanks to all, looks like you got it! It’s William Gibson.

    Rufus - my imitation of Cory Doctorow would have been similar, but I wouldn’t have been able to resist putting in a non-sequiteur about copyleft to make it really obvious :-)
