Andrew Rajan's novel is, above all, a gripping and eminently readable Science Fiction story. However, unlike most Sci-Fi novels, the premise on which the story is based, feels alarmingly close to reality. The notion that it is possible to preserve, at least the memory of the last seconds of someone's life by cryogenic means, and that that memory could be subsequently transferred to and experienced by someone else, seems only slightly outrageous and ahead its time. Tony Peso, the main character, is a likeably flawed character, who finds himself drawn into an increasingly involved and multi-layered plot, finally finding himself on death row at the Lake Pen penitentiary. Without giving away too much, Tony Peso is far too good a creation not to appear in further novels. This book is a thoroughly good read, and I look forward to further novels in this series.
