Contact lenses instead of implants. Not cool.Why kill the scientist who allowed the controller to go missing. Did his need disappear with the control?These were just two of the questions I jotted down as I read. They seemed conundrums in an otherwise reasonable read.We are also never told where in time we are actually in. From the point of view of the technology it would appear well into the future so I would assume that contact lenses would have been superseded for implants.  The mindless violence is at odds with a person who has successfully infiltrated the highest layers of governance to effect change. It is as though we need to understand the baddies are really terrible thought the goodies are just flawed.It took me a while to get into the story as it delved obstinately into the fight scenes surrounding the protagonists.In the end though I caught glimpses of a sequel with promise and will look forward to it.Just a final note and it might just be me. A soldier who calmly rationalised the death of a parent to continue the task set, falls apart mentally when the arch enemy is destroyed. I would have thought it needed to be the other way around.Peter Eerden
