Kevin Anderson and Doug Beason expertly take us into the depth of virtual reality. The story is a gripping tale of how technology can go wrong. Agent Kreident, the main character, is a computer savy FBI agent who specializes in high tech cases. He teams up with the young Paige Mitchell who helps spice up the plot a bit with undertones of innocent sexuality. This reviewer did find the Paige Mitchell character's usuage of the term, "Kay-O" (ie: okay), to be a bit annoying and over used. Overall, I'd rate the book as a great read, however.
