This book is a serious thrill with a twist of paranormal (if you call someone with the mental ability to mindf*#k you into thinking you're falling off the side of a skyscraper, paranormal). Hypnosis is real, so maybe it's not paranormal, but whatever Laz has is scary stuff. I got hooked on the mystery and I straight did not see the ending coming. If I'm reading this right, and I'm pretty sure I am because I read the whole thing twice, this is so much deeper with the history than you initially believe. You basically come into the middle of an ongoing feud. I can't wait to find out what happened in Banyo between Dev and Laz, but whatever it was, it clearly is not over.
There's a lot of fun here, too. I get off on new tech and I believe this book has a very plausible idea of the world ten years from now. Helium 3 is real. It's actually on the moon and people are trying to mine it. China is really on the moon and I heard someone discovered evidence of water. The way the characters play with the tech is cool. They're serious, but there's enough personal jabs to make vendettas feel real.
And I have to say I haven't seen love play out in an action story like this since Captain Hiller (Will Smith) and Jasmine (Vivica Fox) in Independence day or Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis in True Lies. This couple is too cool. I'd get married if I could find a woman like Karen. That's what I call a "ride-or-die" chick.
In fact, I didn't see a single stereotype in the whole book. The characters were multi-dimensional, believable, at times hateable and at times likable. This was a really good read and it promises to be a remarkable series....more
