- 'It would be a lot clearer to me if I knew who I was talking to. A name would be a help.’ -
I’ve wrestled with this because going by the blurb I should have liked this, but I didn’t. Too much on the mysterious, the this is what I think happened but you can’t be sure. The ra, cyberterrorism, domestic disputes, but no resolutions. Not that every book needs one, but this left a bit too much to the imagination. Nealon and the man proved far too cryptic for me.
As a positive i’m from the area this book is based so it was cool to see it come to life. I should read Solar Bones as I’ve put it off for far too long.
