I rewrote my review leaving only the title. Remarkable book, indeed. Initially I was afraid of another Jekyll and Hyde story (multiple personality) but... OK, I should not reveal the plot.As the critical reviewer writes, there are some strange things there. You do NOT join the New York Thruway near Trenton, you have to drive all the way to the North Jersey (Bergen County). I made the trip many time while living in that county for 20 years. Fortunately, this does not inroduce any important element in the book.I just bought the sequel - the Rhodes character is reasonably plausible and the plot conceivable if not too plausible. How plausible was Illiad and Odyssey? Not much. Both neded lot of gods (conveniently available to the ancient Greeks) to get the plots going. We have to settle for 'conceivable' rather than 'plausible'.
