Michael Collins weaves a complex plot of corporate greed and international suspense in his book - The Last Book. A Thriller. I'm a fan of a good high tech mystery and this book fits the bill.  The tech component adds a diabolical element that is downright scarey. The world's fate in the hands of a seriously nasty corporate fellow, in this era of post Wall Street crash and burn, is particularly believable.  You'll love to hate that guy. The author keeps us guessing as the story unfolds with ample fast moving twists and turns that will jog your synapses and jiggle a few goose bumps.Following a handful of characters in their quest for revenge or power, I found myself floundering when the "who" was a bit too oblique for me to grasp quickly. Are there a few too many characters cavorting through the stories pages? No, but it's possible to loose track of who's who in occassional personal pronoun miasmas. However the book's too engaging to put down. It's a primo page turner and well worth a reader's energies.I was not pleased with less than perfect proofing (51 typos is enough to stop ones' eye and blow the flow) but I trust future electronic versions of this story will correct the problem.  That said, Michael Collins has created a fascinating and well crafted story and I look forward to the next installment.I received a complimentary copy of this book for review purposes.
