The grown up brother of the X-files. Very dark and potentially disturbing. The character of Frank Black is very well done. Lots of mystery and unknowns.

My favorite SF novel this year. Huge ideas about how technology impacts us and defines our value systems. Cool tech, and an engaging story. Worth the read.

This had neither new and interesting concepts or a particularly engaging plot. The minor characters were more sympathetic. Ballantyne is no Stross or Banks.
