Typically I tend towards books with unusual characters, a dab of humor and plots that are somewhat unusual. This book was a staff pick at our local library and as soon as I started it I couldn't put it down. Paced like a thriller, it builds momentum continually and the last chapters yield a twist you don't expect. I hadn't read Ted's previous books but I will now. For those who enjoy science fiction minus space travel, human genome experimentation and suspense, you may find yourself out of breath as you get to the last chapters eager to learn how it ends. Highly recommended.
