I am not a fan of sci-fi-ish books, but otherwise the blurb hooked me, and I dived in. While I wasn’t fond of the thing mentioned above, I really, really enjoyed this book. The slow reveal from the preset to the past was a suspenseful hook, and I was glued to the pages to find out what was going on and why Crucial was trying to waste time. Also, I was curious how he and his sister got out of the jam they were both in. One thing though that really bothered me while reading this is that I feel this is actually going to happen, and I see it happening now. This is a page-turning mystery, and I am looking forward to the next. Recommend. I was provided a complimentary copy which I voluntarily reviewed.
