Krever does a remarkable job blending strengths and weaknesses to keep everybody on edge&#8211;including this reader. From the evil Russian (pick one) to the ex-GI to the orphaned daughter of a mind bending colleague, the characters have just enough edge to stay with you without being over the top. I found I didn&#8217;t really care how the plot turned out. I just wanted to see what the characters would do next.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a little different from my normal fare, from a writer with a couple other titles in his basket. After reading this one, I&#8217;m thinking I may have to check out some of them.<\/p>\n<p>I give it a solid four stars.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>4.0 out of 5 stars\u00a0<strong>A good, entertaining read<\/strong>,\u00a030 Sep 2012<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>By\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/gp\/pdp\/profile\/A3KJ58VONCHNI2\/ref=cm_cr_pr_pdp\">Dee B<\/a>\u00a0(UK)<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Well written, good story with convincing characters and an original take on the theme of mind-reading.
