Review: Readable, but not memorable
Rating: 3 out of 5

The story is well plotted and made a tad more interesting by adding an informed South African backdrop. Although all the right ingredients have been mixed into the story - well described science; love interest; war and fighting; politics; CIA; international economy ... etc. - It seems like the story tries to do it all, with the inevitable result that the plot and characters appear somewhat washed out. Enough of a page turner that I kept reading, but far from really exciting or memorable. Some parts reminded me of "The Terminal Man".
