This was a great book, introducing a host of stunning characters, scenarios, and interaction networks. This book weaves a web so vivid it's amazing.

In many ways, I wish I was born later, late enough to be in that world... the playtools the technos play with had me drooling, and advanced science had me stunned... but in other ways I am glad I live no... pre-collapse. What goes up, must come down... that stands true for goverments, societies, populations, as well as gravity-affected objects.

Overall, this looks to be a great start to a stunning series. I am very much looking forward to reading his next book, A Quantum Murder.

Score: 9.0

Two seemingly unrelated stories. One in words, and the other in pictures, come together. The illustrated story begins in 1766 with Billy Marvel, the lone survivor of a shipwreck and charts the adventures of his family of actors over five generations.
