I enjoyed this mystery with a mix of "big brother watching" and governmental meddling. It is fast paced and easy to read with the main character being a likable autistic guy that gets caught up in the 'real world' outside his usual sheltered life. The lady doc who understands and helps him is well drawn with enough back story to help us understand why she's so suited to her job. I like the way the autistic man is portrayed and described - it actually helps me understand a bit more. I found it insightful (but I don't know anyone with Asberger's so I'm not really sure how accurate the portrayal is).

The bad guys are standard bad guys and are vanquished without the doc having to suddenly develop extraordinary fighting skills (I always hate when authors do that....give a skill set outside what a normal person would have). It's perfectly set up for a follow up book.

Recommended for people who like an unusual spin on a traditional theme of governmental interference and control and manipulating behind the scenes.… (altro)
