This was a quick read and a pretty typical Ketchum book. I finished it at 12:30AM. And after staying up late, the ending was exactly what I was expecting. That may be because I've read a lot of his books OR that he properly predicted the future. I think this book was slightly ahead of its time. We take this kind of story as semi-normal now, but then...I bet it was much more out there. Very interesting piece.
