[AISilverB · Rating 3 out of 5]

The summary of the plot in the back cover is a huge spoiler as it should have been a great plot twist revealed three-fourths into the story.

I also felt that the ending was cut short. There were too many loose ends and I think Alan was not justified in the end.

Fun and interesting read. Even in Dutch. Some outdated ideas but that's what happens when you write about the future. Overall very entertaining and at times even exciting. Especially the way the fencing (fencing? yes, fencing.) encounters are described
