Read the Axis of Time and loved them all.
However, this is awful... Don't go in to this Axis, please don't!!!
How I review...
1 star - binned it before half way, please don't write anymore!!!
2 stars - finally binned it after really trying, I mean really trying and I hate to not finishing someth....
3 stars - finished it but boy was that hard work on times, it just about hooked me back in as I was about to dump it
4 stars - great book but it lacked something, something, can't put my finger on it but.... something
5 stars - want more, more books, more movies about the books, more movies about the authors and the making of the movie, just more!!!

Tras la guerra mundial, la nueva guerra fría y las historias de espías son la premisa de esta novela corta que te deja un poco a medias. Un punto menos por el obvio product placement.

This is a short story that is clearly part of a bigger story. There is no conclusion to this novel and that is disappointing. This is just the opening part and that is frustrating. It's time line is in the altered reality created in [b:Weapons Of Choice|72989|Weapons Of Choice (Axis Of Time, #1)|John Birmingham|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1320409875s/72989.jpg|70652], but set ten years later. That fact makes it interesting to read, but I just can't get past the frustration of a no conclusion.

Only problem - it's a novella, so finished way too quickly. MOAR WORDS, AUSSIE.

Good simple story flow with usual bouts of JB brilliance, but the narrative also felt a bit rushed. I also think it was let down a bit by the regular references to modern products or memes; there was little of this in the original trilogy and they were stronger books.
