My kind of techno thriller.

The latest from Diane Duane opens up a new world set about five years in the future and follows the technological exploits of a rich MMORPG creator, the system he has created and the people who want to tear it down.

This first installment doesn't lend itself to a concise summary and definitely feels like Duane is establishing her characters for what will hopefully be a fantastic series.

At first, I was a little put off by all the descriptions of the benefits of the rich and famous, but thankfully Duane has made the protagonist (Dev Logan) very down to earth and likable. I'm really not sure where Duane is going to take this world, but I'm going to eagerly await the second installment.
