Review Summaries

"This is a cyberpunk story set in a near future earth that has been radically changed by global warming. This book and its prequels explore the cultral and social changes experinced by the inhabitants of England due to raising water levels and the rapid expansion of technological advances. In this, the last in the triology, rich and spoiled Julia Evans (CEO of the most powerful company in Europe) has grown to a thoughtful and well considered maturity and is struggling with work commitments and the pressures of being a single parent; while her retainer, psychically enhanced detective, Greg Mandel hunts her missing husband and follows clues which hint at the existence of some extremely odd technology. His searches take him across continents, to a mysterious airship moored above Monaco, and to the Moon, where he and Julia come face to face with a very odd and utterly unexpected enemy. This book contains several graphically violent scenes, some homosexual refrences, and a few (non graphic) sex scenes."
