Baltimore is a hard-boiled cyberpunk science fiction novel set in Baltimore, MD in the year 2317. The city is largely controlled by various corporations, and while technology has progressed the quality of life of the average person has declined. Crime is at an all-time high, drug use has skyrocketed, and much of the population is impoverished. While searching in West Baltimore for the leader of a local gang called The Fools, bounty officer J.J. discovers that this small street gang is much better equipped than they should be. The presence of these powerful weapons in the hands of a common street gang means that the lives of all of Baltimore's citizens are in jeopardy. While J.J. has some powerful allies, their help might not be enough to get to the bottom of what ails Baltimore. Accompanied by the beautiful Jenny, and armed with his trusty sidearm Benevolence, J.J. engages in a deadly game of chess that takes him to all corners of Baltimore. But who are the other players, who's pulling the strings, and what's the endgame?
Baltimore J Lawrence Hawkins Books
This action packed sci fi thriller is a great read. Hawkins is a native of Baltimore, and his knowledge of the city's landscape shines through- even though the novel is set 300 years in the future! Some landmarks remain (street names, various locations- like Blue Point Crab House), while others are created through the passage of time (Ray Ray's Chicken).Like all great sci fi, Baltimore (the book) has some interesting philosophical undertones, and some social commentary. How far will things go if corporations run everything? At least now in our day to day existence, we can pretend that profit is not the deciding factor in all aspects of life...but what if that veil is lifted? This is a little snapshot of a possible outcome.
As I said before, it's action packed. As I was reading, I really thought this book would make a GREAT graphic novel. Hawkins has a background in Martial Arts, and it really shows in his descriptive fight sequences.
Lastly, this book has some great dialog. I laughed out loud a couple times. It was a lot of fun to read, made me think a little, and was clearly a labor of love. A+!

Baltimore J Lawrence Hawkins Books Reviews
Great read. Unique feel. I look forward to more from this author.
I see Mr. Hawkins going far with his writing. I was hooked by the first page. I am looking forward to reading more of his work.
I was taking my time with getting it and from what I've read that decision was a mistake. Loving it.
Epic novel. Reminiscent of the 1994 Genesis game, shadowrun, just more close to home. Hard to put down when you start and completely immersive. The ending has me wanting more.
Our hero? Anything goes!!
Great read.
Excellent read. Highly recommended if you like action, comedy, and sci-fi.
