One of the stars of this show is Las Vegas, 2078.  The buzz of the city, the gambling, crime, violence and the futuristic, yet realistic descriptions kept me right there as the action unfolded.  Danny DeVille is an excellent MC, whose intelligence, insight and experience puts him in the right place to investigate the financial problems being experienced by the biggest, newest and most exciting casino on the block.  With his close-knit team of operatives and support staff, DeVille's detective agency soon gets to grips with the villains and the story takes off in a fast-paced, imaginative and well described series of encounters with various opponents.  Who is friend and who is not?  Why can't these look-alike killers be killed themselves?  Who is behind the conspiracy that reaches into the upper echelons of Las Vegas corporate life - and even higher than that?  With the action moving from land to sea and back and with time travel adding a little relish to the plot, this book is a must read for SF fans.Professional writing, strong plotting and excellent pacing, along with intricate and unusual twists to the story make this book hard to put down.  Highly recommended.-Liz
