In the Wrong Hands

Rating:
Summary: Good story, mediocre writing & atrocious editing
Review: Never in my four decades of reading have I happened across a book rife with so many typos, malapropisms and broken grammar.

The story itself is interesting and in some ways amazingly timely despite being written in 1994. Mr. Pierson clearly had a pretty good grasp on coming technologies. The editing, or failure thereof, destroys what could have been a fair-to-middling near-future science fiction read.

"In The Wrong Hands," a title equally applicable to when Mr. Pierson wrote it, the time the manuscript for this book spent in its editor's hands and the time it (hopefully won't) spend in your hands.
