This was a great book, introducing a host of stunning characters, scenarios, and interaction networks. This book weaves a web so vivid it's amazing.

In many ways, I wish I was born later, late enough to be in that world... the playtools the technos play with had me drooling, and advanced science had me stunned... but in other ways I am glad I live no... pre-collapse. What goes up, must come down... that stands true for goverments, societies, populations, as well as gravity-affected objects.

Overall, this looks to be a great start to a stunning series. I am very much looking forward to reading his next book, A Quantum Murder.

Score: 9.9

Oh dear, what can the matter be? Ten old ducks stuck in a lavatory. They were there from Sunday to Saturday. Nobody knew they were there.

What do nine cranky bulls, eight plump chooks, seven blind mice and many more funny animal characters do when no-one is looking? Find out in this hilarious rhyming story!
