A really interesting idea and rather well executed. Zachary's voice was fantastic for the narration as well.

I had no idea this was book 2 in a series and it works as a stand alone just fine.

- Not as engrossing as the first one. 
- Fairly typical crime drama story but with the interesting sci-fi elements of this world. 
- Some confusing inter-character relationships. 
-Will continue to read series.
