Title: Falls far short of its initial promise
Review: An interesting premise which starts well. The author starts off with great gusto but appears to just "give up" at the end. Story lines and characters who appear to be critical to the storyline seem to disappear or fade away without even attempting to tie up loose ends in any meaningful way. And the ending? Please. It was like the author just got tired of writing this story and said, "OK I'm done". Very unsatisfying. If it was only based on the first part of the book I'd buy every book he writes. But if you can't finish a story in a meaningful way then I doubt I'll ever buy another one of his novels. Too bad. I really had hoped to like it.
