I was disappointed that AD Foster wrote this first of a trilogy with blatant intention of leaving you hanging. It could not possibly considered a stand alone book. It seems now that so many books are written in the same way just to keep you hanging on waiting for the next book. Well, it is not worth waiting for the next book. As a matter of fact, I will try to go out of my way to avoid anything in a series unless each book is a stand alone. Substance: Fast-moving techno-thriller about artificially-changed human bodies and how that affects the culture. Plus a mystery about a mysterious impossible substance. Style: Foster has a highly-developed artificial narrative that injects some arch humor into fairly standard action adventure. Having tried several of his books now, I like the substance but not the style. Probably won't finish the series.

In this urban science fiction setting, the lines between human and machine are blurred by technology that uses surgical manipulation to improve and splice skills and abilities into humans in a process called Melding. These Melds range from cosmetic make-overs to physical enhancements meant to increase speed, sight, environmental interactions, and so on. Those who elect to not partake of these surgeries are called Naturals, though most humans with the financial means take advantage of Melding.
The storyline is a fairly straightforward urban action thriller with spurts of violence, science technology infodumps, and tenuous flirting between the main characters, but it's a fun if not terribly thought-provoking adventure. ( )
