Lam creates an enthralling thriller with a futuristic setting and references. Written in the third person, head hopping point of view. Readers will recognize phrases and occurrences from book 1, however, this can be read a book 2 or as a standalone. Filled with homosexual and transgender relationships, this novel has flesh parlors that perform surgery at the drop of a hat whenever someone wants to change something.Discretion due to an unnecessary, mildly descriptive intercourse scene as well as crude and harsh language throughout. Recommended for readers of thriller novels.
