Who doesnt love a nasty bad guy.

In to the future we go and genetic enhancments are common place, both legall and illegal and when something is illegal you know it comes with a dangerous underground. A former black market dealer wants to go straight but is being blackmailed but to do what he doesnt know. It makes for an interesting story. What sort of enhancements are out there, how can it go wrong, whose in control, what do the police know, and dozens of other questions get asked as we explore a world that may one day come to pass.

The characters are interesting but also unlikeable. The main character is a whiny woe is me type who doesnt develope any redeeming traights for quite a while. His love interest is obvious and its hgard to take a liking to her either, but likeable or not they are well written for their roles and the support cast are solid, but its the bad guys who really stand out. Finally, villains you don't want to meet, and the story takes off when they start to come out of the wood work.

The plot, well, we have seen similar before. Tech companies looking for ways to take control of the market, the police, the government, and kill anyone who gets in their way, but variations on a theme are always good and this was an entertaining story.

The narration is good. Well paced, naturally spoken, easy t listen to with different characters easily distinguishable and the right tones to set the mode at any particular moment.

At times you'll be screaming for someone, anyone, to put an end to the whining, at other times you'll mind will want to hide from the acts inflicted on others. You may even end up routing for the bad guys. Well, maybe one of them.
