A review by ghostmuppet
Nexus by Ramez Naam
3.0
This book started out with a lot of promise. A 'drug' that allows minds to connect. Someone had managed to hack this and add an OS onto it to allow people to develop software to help them (such as a Bruce Lee program to help with Martial Arts). It all started off well, with a group being infiltrated by the government.
It started to slide after we hit Bangkok (Thailand is where most of the story takes place). I believe the authour wanted a more 'Borne' feel about his book, and this is where the story progresses. Lots of over the top fights and 'tight' escapes.
The ending saved it a little. Reminded me of a film ending (wont say due to spoilers). I would put this as a 2.5 stars.
