Set in a future where the internet has disappeared and cash is the only means of payment. Pierce is a courier who makes sure it gets to its intended recipients. When he opens a delivery and the money has disappeared, he becomes a target as he tries to find out what has really happened.
He also tries to find answers to other tragedies in his life and relies on his tenacity and multiple skills to do so.
A charismatic character who takes us on a ride where corporate corruption and the mafia go hand in hand.
A science fiction novel with a dose of thriller, very effective and action packed. I really enjoyed it.

The Price of Everything by Jon Mcgoran, a well written book that I didnt find enjoyable. Occasional cursing for dramatic effect is understandable but this one went a little far for me. I do think others will enjoy it and I thank you for giving me a chance with this book.

I commend McGoran for creating an intelligent and effective thriller that walks a fine line between total sci-fi and ultra realistic narrative. The result is a moody and atmospheric thriller that reminded me a little bit of Blade Runner crossed with wondering how Jason Statham’s Transporter would be if set in the near future. The action sequences are vivid in their nature, using much of the modern weaponry to help thriller fans visualize the scenes effectively, maybe too effectively as Pierce uses knives, Glocks, throwing spikes, and a metal chain of his surgically embedded cuff. The action is plentiful and slick with great cinematic sequences to hold your attention.
