[Alan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Two assassins, a time-traveller and action from the first word all amount to an entertaining read. I wasn't caught up so much in the underlying them of "future speculation", stock markets and world economy as I was to the interaction between the two main characters and the pure action throughout the story.

I would also recommend reading "The Reality War" series by the same author (Tim Taylor) for a deeper look into the universe of time-travellers.
