Liked It“Classic sci-fi, with all kinds of doodads, alternate lifeforms, and virtual realities stirred into the plot. It's quite well-done, although I was a wee bit annoyed when I got to the end of the book and only then discovered that it's a cliffhanger with a sequel. Oh well. |
Didn’t Like It“Boring, dull, overly technical, no characters to care about. Ick. Can't believe this is the same guy who wrote the Chaos series, which is fantastic. It's awful.” see full review » see other reviews » |

Phaethon is a dilettante type who discovers by accident that he has apparently redacted quite a lot of his memory for reasons that no one will discuss with him. He begins to put together clues and learns that if he tries to solve the mystery, he will be cast out of the virtual world where he lives, penniless and alone. ”
