Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Perry is a prolific producer of thriller-type sf novels that do not pretend to offer anything other than lots of fast action with a high-tech flavor--and never fail to provide that. The situation this time revolves around the fact that giving a spin to media coverage has in the future become technologically sophisticated, with highly paid experts wielding enormous power. One of those experts is brought in on a case and finds it more than he bargained for, which sets off a lively tale of intrigue, murder, and sabotage. Perry's following is primarily made up of lovers of hard-core action sf, and they will not be disappointed. Roland Green

This review is from: Spindoc (Venture Silk) (Kindle Edition)

... this book is awesome. However, the thing that really angers me, is that in the first three pages of the book, there are at least 4 typos, and more as you continue on. I'm only in about 6 or so pages, but some of the typos actually change the meaning of what you're trying to read, and you have to guess.

Now, I have this book in paperback from years ago, and those typos aren't there. So you should still buy the book for the story, just stay away from the very over-priced kindle edition.
