This book is another of Bullion's stand-alone novels, though I could pretty easily see Mason being in the world that has been created over the course of Demon Spawn, A Witch to Live and Jack Kursed.  I liked the main character and his love interest a lot -- one of the things that I've appreciated quite a bit about Bullion is that he spends very nearly as much time developing the female lead as he does his main protagonist.  The secondary characters were interesting and I thought they played their support roles very well.  I do agree with one or two of the other reviewers that it didn't quite make sense that the primary antagonist just let Mason go after he turned 18.  Given everything that he was willing to do towards the latter half of the book, it seemed much more likely that Mason would have just disappeared into some government facility, never to be seen again.  Still, I believe the intent was to show that the so-called cat was out of the bag by that time, there were people in the loop that knew what Mason could do who would have made things very difficult for the program, and Mason himself may have just been too difficult to work with.  Regardless, despite that one quibble if you have enjoyed the rest of Bullion's work I think you'll like this one as well.
