Summary: Vibrant characters
Review: On the way to work this morning, I was trying to figure out which film I had seen that included a vibrant character I had been thinking about. I then realized it was no film but this book, which I read a few months ago. To me, that's proof that Harrington is a master of characterization; for I had a clear visual image of the character in question and thus assumed it was from a movie while, in fact, it was just from my mind's eye.

The plot and pace of this book make it a fast read, it really pulls you in. But it's the characters that really seem to have a life of their own.

The book is about mysterious Egyptian idols, uncertain identities, high-finance take overs, revolutionary drug treatments, and more... all written with the detail and care that make this tale come to life. What a blast!
