"This is that rare thing: a technothriller where the author actually knows what he’s talking about when it comes to technology. The funny banter between the characters is actually funny, and the plot is genuinely gripping. Like if Neal Stephenson wrote a book with Douglas Adams." -Goodreads, 5*"Gripping ... particularly when things start moving *very quickly* and good character development. I’m looking forward to seeing more from Adam Saint." -Goodreads, 5*"A heart-pumping near-future technothriller packed full of big ideas about the nature of existence and humanity – one that's also a page-turner that will keep you gripped throughout. As soon as you begin to wonder how far away we are from exactly the kind of technological possibilities he describes, you'll realize: we may already be there." -Goodreads, 5*"My one thing about tech thrillers is I have no frame of reference – my own tech knowledge is so sparse, I'm ill-qualified to judge the likelihood or otherwise of the tech details. But a gripping page-turner, with likeable, interesting characters and plenty of plot swerves, this most definitely is. Read it in about three sittings, even ignoring the tennis, so gripped was I. Belter." -Goodreads, 4*"An exciting fast-paced thriller. Science fiction revolves around artificial or not-so-artificial intelligence and is explained in an intelligent and mostly comprehensible way – it sparked my interest. Very clever, well-plotted and very readable." -Goodreads, 5*"A good mix of tech and sci-fi, along with a little humour." -Goodreads, 4*"There are so many things about this one that I love. The story uses the transferring of a conscience into a machine in a refreshing way and it's told in a way that gets your attention from page one. Truly a unique and enjoyable read." -Goodreads, 4*"Intelligent and intriguing ideas ... The author has obviously got a firm grasp on his material. It is fascinating to see the technology at work." -Goodreads, 4*
