A very well written and thought out novel, that displays creative plays on oft thought concept and ideas. It was new, refreshing and an extremely pleasant twist to the genre. The characters are very well fleshed out with world, time and personality developments as well as the crushing degradation that many writers tend to miss. This book continually throws you those Wait.... What? Moments that you'll have a hard time putting it down. A truly mind bending experience that subtly blends current events with a twist. Excellent first entry from this author.
