Review: Intrigue
Rating: 5 out of 5

This book had me guessing and always guessing wrong. The characters of Si and Mel are compelling, sad, and at the same time somewhat awe inspiring. Some of Mel's background is revealed while Si remains something of an enigma, which only adds to the intrigue.Two shadowy groups struggle in opposition to each other in an epic war between what on the surface appears to be good and evil. But what I liked most about the story was that such pluralities are blurred and notions of right and wrong, normal ones at least, are treated with a bit more complexity than usual.An excellent science fiction read with intensely interesting characters. Left me hungry for more about these characters and the organizations they have uncovered. What will become of the Alpha male? How will he survive the coming changes? I'm hoping a second book is available soon, but I won't be forgetting this installment for sure. Entertaining, fast paced, and intriguing.
