Unabashedly 5 stars. I really liked the book. The author did an excellent job building up the world in the novel. The book read a lot like a detective novel (with the protagonist on his search for answers). The world and it's history was revealed during these encounters. Near the end the story started reminding me Asimov's Caves of Steel...the writing styles are different, but both present a future that feels familiar and foreign at the same time.The only major problem I had was that once I found out there was a sequel, I *really* want it :-). However, although the book does end at a climax, I didn't find it to really be a cliff hanger. The main issues in the book were resolved, but there were definitely more things to be explored.As mentioned in the other reviews, there were a few typos (but only a half dozen or so that were distracting enough for me to provide feedback on). There were a few scenes where the phrasing or off or I was just missing something...for example, Jake was wearing a bio suit that "shredded" but was worried about it tearing in the next scene.Overall, however, it was a great book. I never tired of reading it. I'm greatly looking forward to the sequel.
