A review by hank
Nexus by Ramez Naam

4.0

Great, fun, action packed novel! The action was all very high tech and very believable. The Nexus connections were also quite believable and I never thought anyone could write a part of a story containing code compiling, that I do every day, and make it sound exciting. The part where he was trying to code a backdoor and the issues that pop up were extremely realistic, clearly (and according to his bis) Raam was/is a coder.
Cade's character had a few flaws/inconsistencies but for the most part was good, all the other characters fit well and contributed to the story.
One of my favorite parts was Cade's Bruce Lee program. Every time he turned that on, he was a badass....briefly and then got his ass kicked anyway. Exactly how I picture that working :)

I will definitely pick up the next in the series.
