Another title Mr. Patterson did not write alone, but from the cover art it's hard to tell his co-author was there. As many others have pointed out it's a very different fantasy tale than usual, but not anything I cared for. In fact, I quit after less than 100 pages. Unfortunately, many of those pages had very little text on them...a typical Patterson technique. This was also common with Robert B. Parker and many business books with not much to say but still needing to look important enough to meet the retail price.
I found the details of life in 2061 unbelievable and poorly explained. I felt there was too much change in 50 years to be possible. I have read a lot of science fiction, so the concepts were not new, just that the story read more like a graphic novel than a serious book.
