Rating: 4 out of 5

The basic plot is a conventional chase with a fugitive running in this case from various crooks. How it is written and described sets it apart from many with similar plots. It is set in the fairly immediate future where the author describes a world dominated by drugs legal and illegal the world is brought to life and the characters are realistic. In this future world a new type of drugs have been developed which give the person taking them the attributes both mental and physical of various animals. The fugitive, the main character in the story is a scientist, one of the main developers of these drugs, who was tricked into working for an illegal drug operation and seeks to escape from them. This does not sound much of a plot but the description and involvement with teen age gangs who are hyenas and wolves does much to lift this story to a different level as does the background information on the drug mastermind which adds to the realism of which must be described as a science fiction or fantasy story.
