![]() ![]() It was a clumsy way to achieve the suspense and I felt my time had been wasted wondering who the person was.Īnother thing I didn't like was his messing around with geography. It was necessary to keep you guessing about his identity, but describing someone’s feelings on the death of a comrade and having a doctor sign a death certificate - to me this means the person is certainly dead. One thing I didn't like was the killing off and then resurrecting of a major character. I won't spoil the plot for those that haven't read it, because the story really jumps around and alters with each chapter, but that does make it confusing at times and sometimes I needed to go back and read a part again to be sure I read it right. It also follows several generations of the same families whose lives have become inextricably entwined, even if they don’t realise themselves. It is set during both the Second World War and the present time, concerned with both Nazi/Japanese Gold and an attempt to establish a free South East Asian 'data haven' for digital information in the present day. ![]() ![]() I do think it is an excellent read, and a gripping and page turning thriller. None of the technology is far fetched though the ultimate reason for forming the company Epiphyte is futuristic. I'm not sure that I would personally class this as Science Fiction, more action/adventure with a technological bent, but it seems to come under the wing of Cyberculture and it is in the SciFi section of every bookshop that I've been into. ![]()
