Been a long time Brown reader, but after this disater of a story, I think I'll give up. The only thing missing is the illustrations for this cartoon story that isn't even interesting or exciting on a fantasy level. I rolled my eyes and found myself wondering if Brown meant this as a comedy. When it was clear he intended it as a techno thriller I just felt sad for his lost art. It reminded me of a 6th graders creative story writing project. Sad sad sad.
