Jill and David are now celebrities with all that entails including lack of privacy and attracting all sorts of cranks and kooks.  Some want to marry them, or have their babies.  Others want to kill them.  One guy is particularly frightening and receives the moniker of “Psycho” from Jill and David.  He is filled with hate and need for revenge upon them and the fetus in the artificial womb, (whom Jill named Jesse).  He feels that the media attention focused on them should be focused on him.Psycho's actions are truly horrificIn the interim, the hospital wants to use Jill and David for publicity to help restore their reputation tarnished by the unethical behavior of Arnett.  The couple is not happy about it, particularly, when one of the PR guys turns out to be a creep.And on the subject of creeps, Psycho is aptly named.Jill remains as tenacious as ever, and David also pursues the investigation into the identity of Psycho.  David is much more involved than he was in the first book.Jill and David's relationship progresses nicely, and some of the more ancillary characters from the first book are fleshed out a bit.The story is fast-paced, interesting and imaginative. I particularly liked the motive behind Psycho's hatred and desire to kill them.  Bear in mind that Psycho is quite obviously insane, (probably with Dissociative Identity Disorder, or Schizophrenia), so his motive has to be understood in this context.MILD SPOILER - 3 months later, Jesse is born. (Or should I say “delivered” or “decanted”?)  I suspect that Jill wants to adopt him and David does not want to, thinking that the world would know if they adopted him and he would have no chance for a normal life.  Both opinions are readily understandable and I can’t wait until tonight when I start the 3rd book and find out what happens.
