"Thoroughly enjoyable - some really interesting concepts and situations and characters and I've not the time to review it properly with the respect it deserves; suffice to say doubleplusgood and can't wait for the next one. I would LOVE to see this adapted for film..."

" For my review please visit my blog: Martin's View: Reality 36. "
— Martin, 10/15/2013" Prolly should tell you it's the start of series. Decent book. Ends abruptly. "
— Carol, 8/13/2013" A great ride through a post apocalyptic future with our AI and cyborg detectives. Finishes abruptly, perhaps setting it up for another book/sequel. "
— Faulteh, 8/2/2013" Fascinating ideas, good action scenes, some brilliant situations but overall it has too much techno-talk and it's a bit wordy ... it simply over-explains everything which interferes with the story line. "
— Naftoli, 3/20/2013" I really wanted to like this because the plot sounded awesome and I'm a robot/sci-fi nerd but the writing was all over the place. I kept wondering when the author was going to figure out who he wanted the protaganist to be. I gave up after about fifty pages. "
— Circa, 2/10/2013" Disappointing. I wanted more of the game world. I could careless about the lead character (AI) and his partner. "
— Stephina, 11/28/2012" Great mix of cool story and awesome world building. I enjoyed this one a lot. Only negative was that it's not the full story. The conclusion is in the next book. "
— Fred, 11/18/2011" Prolly should tell you it's the start of series. Decent book. Ends abruptly. "
