This review is from: The 13th Power (Paperback)

I finished this book without putting it down, at least in my mind. It moves quickly from situation to situation and between characters as is pulls you along. I couldn't get off the high-speed conveyor that brings sci-fi to a believable status. It may happen! My only difficulty is that I wanted to continue immediately to episode two, a dirty trick making me wait.
