Stephan and his team are up against everyone, including those who were once allies as they try to resolve the plot set up against them several turns back. In hindsight they never should have taken that first job, but the attack on Ichi meant that they needed money and the only way to get enough was to take that first job.
Technology is a key part of everything in this new world and when it doesn't work as expected it has huge problems. Gridhounds manipulate hardware and software to make things around them do what is needed. They work deep into the background of things to run scripts that weasel out information or control what others can see or do. But Stephan's gridhound has lost it and he is having problems keeping ahead of those who want them all dead.
The individual characters are extremely well crafted, borne of an authors long relationship with them all. They have foibles and flaws that make them real. That can make you either really like them or find them annoying. Mostly I like the characters in the book. But, I sometimes think that Stephan is a bit judgemental of certain others and I really want to slap him and make him readjust.
I reckon that there has to be more from Stephan and his team, so encourage the author to write more by buying this book. You won't regret it.
"You cannot make a call, Stefan. Now is too late. For you. For your friends."
I received a free copy of this novel from the author and I'm delighted to offer my fair and honest review.
