Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I think the book was great but...
Review: Epidermal programming is a cutting edge fetish. Sentient tatoos and the Mir 3.0 virus are loose in a world that exists both in consciousness and physical form -- and techno-pagan rituals can assist in moving both from body to body.

Original, intelligent, expansive and truly entertaining. The author is creating an epic story arc that is sure to become a classic. Highly recommended for those who can use a bit of altered reality!

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: I think the book was great but...
Review: I loved the book, but I think that Besher needs to work on the ending. It just sorta ends, there isn't much to it. All in all the book was excelent, and I would recomend it to anyone.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not as good as RIM
Review: While I did not dislike the book. Beshers second novel seems to have lost some of the edge apparent in the first.

All the elements are there, a cyberpunk/buddist setting, a deadly virus that could destroy the world and a few attempting to fight against it. However after a good start the plot seems to meander and the frequent jumps from character to character and in and out of various sub plots that Besher makes can lead to confusion on the part of the reader. I am going to go back to it a second time and feel that it may then grow on me but at the moment I can only say that it is readable but nothing special.
