I couldn't get into this. The character and location descriptions are extremely lacking. Gave up after chapter 3.

I’m not sure where to start with this one – probably because I was very lost at the beginning. I thought that perhaps I had picked up a second in a series, but I could find no reference to a first book anywhere. The book in a nutshell is vampires meet cyperspace, but this isn’t clear at first.
The Eternals are somehow “chosen” to become immortal in a non-aging sense. People can link to cyberspace by hooking up with a cord coming out of their head which seems to be connected to microchips they have had implanted in their brain. Ok – so far I’m following, but then come the strange references to levels and ranks in the cyberworld with no real explanation of what they mean.
Now, if you take the Eternals and the cyberworld somewhat out of the equation, the realtionships between the people are fascinating. The story revolves around a father, mother, and son. The parents are both Eternals and are trying to find a way to “infect” their son as well. They travel to the ends of the known universe (literally) to try and find this virus. However, beyond this the relationship was rather odd. Perhaps as a result of being so virtual based, the family’s responses to each other seemed overly strained and impersonal.

Meh. The concepts in the book were very much the type of things I enjoy reading about but it just seemed all over from my perspective.

This book was really confusing. Being one of three books I had to use google to discover which of the three is the first one in the trilogy. It seemed there was never a wrap up to the continuous things that pop up. Vampires meet cyberpunk with some sci-fi thrown in for spice. Out of curiosity I will read the other two books
