Description

In the not too distant future, some private security outfits will take any job for the right price, and the best "black contract" firm on the planet is Eshu International. Stable nano-technology: the melding of man and machine on a microscopic level. It's a break-through worth billions no one's been able to perfect - until now. And Eshu International just got hired to steal it.

Review by: outeast on April 09, 2011 : star star star
A tautly written, workmanlike Gibsonesque action thriller, not dazzlingly original to say the least but quite open about its debts (one of the main characters is even named 'Gibson'). Definitely worth a read if you like the genre, but don't expect it to change your life.
There's a religious aspect which I found a bit off-putting: it's not too much in this book, but there's a gradual ratcheting-up of the Christian schick at the end that makes me worried that the next volume will go too far (shades of Greg Bear there). This won't be a problem if you're a Christian, I guess. But if you're into this genre, how likely is that?
