Review: A brawl in a brothel
Rating: 4 out of 5

A fast-paced story based on a cool concept that doesn't shy away from the brutality of sex slavery and the opportunities presented by human cloning in that industry.It starts with a fight scene in a brothel, which is characteristic of the whole book. The violence, the naked body parts and the sexy thoughts mixed in with the desire to kill or at least not be killed. It mixes violence with sexual scenes, but in the hard-hitting style that's the same for both. This is no romantic suspense novel, nor BDSM erotica. This book doesn't romanticise pain in any way - and when Jonathon's screaming, he's doing it with good reason. One pique I had was that he also tends to speak with a lot of exclamation marks, which reminds me of the writing style in some of Matthew Reilly's early books. Either that or Harkon's so hyped up on caffeine, nanobots or whatever else is in his blood that his every thought is an exclamation.I'd definitely be interested in reading more of this series.
