Review: Hyperbolic action, dodgy editing
Rating: 3 out of 5

If you're a fan of fast-paced action then you might enjoy this book. Unfortunately I found the characters a bit OTT and cliched. Also some elements of the story were a bit implausible (such as the Chinese factory full of wonder robot monkey workers that no one had really noticed!)But what really lets this book down is bad editing. The first third is fine but it progressively deteriorates. Some of it is forgivable but some is really sloppy - like the sentence with the word 'ut' instead of 'but'. Just running the MS through a spellchecker would have sorted that out.Personally, I think three stars is generous.
