When first picking up this book you may think that it is one of those "Geek-fest" novellas that is all the fluff and no substance and you would be terribly wrong. Craig Askham has created a world that in a lot of ways is like ours only slightly askew. From the beginning you will be gripped by the need to know what happens next and to piece together the puzzle that our heroes are confronted with.This writer has taken the premise of many novels and movies to the next level. A world where many citizens do not know where reality ends and virtual reality begins. The best thing about this novel  is that you get into the action very early in the first chapter. This is not to say that you do not fully come to understand and comprehend your characters, your landscape or your surroundings, because Craig Askham can paint vivid pictures of the scenery and characters with his words.While it may take you a moment to fully comprehend what is going on, as you continue to read everything fall into place and you will start to identify with the characters. This book sucks you in and before you know it, you will become invested in the mission and will be hard-pressed to put the book down until you have seen it through.Craig Askham has taken the best parts of dark and gloomy fantasy(which everyone loves) and meshed it with a futuristic reality that is unnerving. He then takes you on a journey but do not expect a clean happy ending, the climax leaves you asking other questions. This is a great read and should be snapped up and savored. You'll be wanting to ask the doctor to hurry up and do a part two.
