This was an ok read. It was not quite up to the standards of the first 4 books, even leaving out the occasional typo. However, it was much better than Tiger by the Tail. Overall, I'd say that those who like the previous books should read it. Adam Gaffen uses the universe well, but I don't care for the mysticism and out-there bio implants he has introduced. The story line is good, even though he takes some of the main characters in directions that don't match up with my read of their personalities. There are several plot lines that don't get tied up, and it ends on a cliff-hanger, so I assume that he set it up to have a sequel. If so, I'll read it too.
