Reviews
“This fast-paced thriller will thoroughly engage tech savvy teenagers and give them plenty to think about. The scientific scenarios seem entirely plausible and not too far away from what we know now and will raise fascinating questions about the morality of human experimentation and what boundaries we may need to impose on the human/machine interface. A thoroughly intelligent and gripping sci fi adventure.”LoveReading4Kids, LoveReading4Kids
