Walter Jon Williams is know for his high-tech "cyberpunk" novels. This is not one of those novels. Which I found very nice. Call it a techno-thriller or whatever, but it was a good read.

The only complaint was the plot became a little transparent by the end of the story. Though it didn't detract from the read. I found I empathized with the characters motivation by then end. It was a good story, well thought out and espoused the emotions that I think Williams wanted us to feel.

Again this was not a "cyberpunk" novel by any means. SO if you are trying to equate this to some of his other works it might fall short. Over all I would suggest this to anyone that reads thrillers, techno-thrillers, or even mysteries. ]]>
