I really enjoyed this book and found the fast pace and well thought through progression of it was amazing. The main character was very likable and his devotion to the female he loved was incredibly endearing. I also totally loved the way the last page ends.Plot wise I was hooked from right at the start and it didn't let go until the very last word. It reminded me a lot of Dean Koontz and as he is one of my favourite authors that's no bad thing at all.Based on plot and characters alone I want to give this book 5 stars. I really was very impressed by it, however, I am afraid I can't.There were a few minor things for me that took the edge off what would have otherwise been a perfect book. Firstly I got very lost knowing where the characters were all the time. They seemed to travel a lot but always seemed to be in the same town. For someone running from the cops this seemed a little odd and had me very confused at a few points.Secondly I found there were a few too many grammar and spelling mistakes in it for me. I'm quite sensative to those, however, so don't expect that to put everyone off. I've definitely seen a similar amount in more traditionaly published books.Thirdly as a Christian I found the few anti-christian references a little annoying. At one point the book very firmly suggests that Tim is just another incarnation of Jesus Christ and for me that was past the point I'd be happy with. I know almost all sci-fi in nature does not lend itself to being very Christian but this one went a little too far. So I'd recommend this book more for non-Christians.
