Semenovich’s world is very cool and the story picks up speed nicely, before delivering a satisfying and suitably dramatic conclusion. And Nick’s good company along the way – never too predictable, likeable but not squishy, not so attention-hungry you can’t appreciate the scenery.

Fascinating SF novel that gets you thinking rather than just telling a story, looking to a future in which personality traits governed by specific genes had threatened civilization and the survival of the human race on Earth. The introduction of a pandemic virus will set people thinking about the possibilities of genetic warfare, and although the SF elements of the book are excellently written, I can't help thinking that the overriding concept is of philosophical constraints of humans. This isn't just an SF adventure, but a challenge to the reader to stop and think about where the human race is headed.
