I was given this book free to read and review.Initially I could not see the purpose of the prologue but at the end it all made sense and a nice touch. At first this was slow going and although set against the background of a trial for a new drug was more about character development than anything else and it allowed me to get a real feel for the characters. None of the characters came over as particularly sympathetic as all of them seemed to be in it just for the money. However about half way through things changed and it needed a careful read as I tried to distinguish if it was really happening or a hallucination  due to the effects of the drugs being taken. Actually I never found out which but it did not really matter. Not comfortable reading as it included adult themes and considerable violence which was necessary for the plot but I did enjoy it and it made me think. The frightening thing is that it all seemed so real, enough to put anyone off volunteering for a medical trial.
