Grydscaen: Beginnings, the first in the grydscaen series seemed to me like a rough, unpolished gem. I honestly expected gay science fiction with a serious touch of anime culture, and that’s exactly what I got. The world Natsuya Uesugi has created is extremely interesting, a dystopian society where psychic powers are the gold everyone’s after and would stop at nothing to hone those powers. In come the psi inducing drugs such as neurocyne. Hackers and psychics, high on drugs, and connected to the grydscaen through, you guessed it, a jack that goes straight into your brain, sounds manga-ish enough.Pot Of Gold 6The factions are interesting to watch, the Packrats who are the it group to be in if you are in the wrong part of the city – the Echelons, the Psi Faction who to me was a bunch of seriously sociopath sadists hell bent on perfecting their human toys, those caught up in the middle, the hordes of prostitutes and drug addicts in search of their next hit, being hunted for their psi powers by the police and beaten up while trying to make a living. It all seems dark, bleak, and I can’t decide if any psi powers are anything but a curse.
While you try to keep up with the history of this new dark world, with the factions and their sometimes hard to grasp purposes, there is a plethora of characters being introduced. Many of the Packrats, with their subsections, from hackers to smugglers to kits with crazy and uncontrollable psi abilities that have no where to go, the Psi Faction with its many high ranking officials and the mass of gifted youngsters they have employed or kidnapped, and the complicated relationships between the players.
It is hard to tell who’s the main character and who’s in the supporting cast, and with as many individuals with back stories, the book seems rushed. if you take a break from reading it, you will have a bit of a rough time getting reacquainted with everyone and everything. Some aspects, like neurocyne, aegis, and psi powers are explained ad nauseam, while others are skipped through. You either guess them, or wait for a bit, when the explanation is later added, but that’s not a safe bet.
My rating for this book is mostly based on the intricacies of the world created and the raw potential of some of the characters in this universe. The book does need a clean up, but as it is only the introduction to the series, I do want to know more about the world and what happens to the characters. So far, I am mostly rooting for the Packrats. Although not perfect and clearly the criminal organization in this universe, they are the most human. All the Psi Faction seems to be doing is torture those with psi abilities, kidnap new test subjects. In their spare time, they help destroying the liabilities they created by a failed psi conditioning – the psi power users in the Echelons. The citizens in the city proper are even worse, highly homophobic and showing complete hate towards any form of psi power. As far as dystopian worlds go, this is as dark as it gets.

Grydscaen Beginnings Natsuya Uesugi 9781462886739 Books Reviews
grydscaenbeginnings is a fast paced book that has in depth characters and explains the story of the main characters of grydscaen before they come to the Psi Faction. This book is the prequel to grydscaen retribution.
The main characters of this book are Faid, the leader of the psychic terrorist hacker organization called the Packrats, and Lino, a member of the Psi Faction, and Riuho, Lino's half brother and a prisoner of the Psi Faction who is being experimented on.
The Packrats are trying to stop the government from oppressing the people and rounding up psychics off the street and experimenting on them. The society in the Pacific Territories is divided up into a caste system and those that are not citizens are deeply oppressed.
grydscaenbeginnings explains the backstory of all the characters on how they got to the Psi Faction and the start of book 1. This book also has a prologue that explains the history of the political organizations and how people got psychic power. The book also includes a glossary of terms, as well as a section of the Packrat Code, which is the hacker manifesto of the Packrats.
I enjoyed this book, it read fast and the action started out right at the outset. I greatly enjoyed it.
