Now we can! My god was that book great! It had action, romance, and a kickin' story. Everything and everybody was interlinked. Whatever one person did, it affected the other. One person did something which affected someone who knew the 1st person! And all of it made sense! And the company powerhouses, that was so interesting to see companies actually battle for power!

I know. The book had all the elements that make a great book, intrigue, great characters, an interesting plot, and a rich mileau.

Yes, JG is a very good book. Perhaps one of the best that I have ever read (although I was a bit apprehensive about it during the 1st chapter).

I got it from the library yesterday evening. I finished it before bed. It was amazing. I have tremendous respect for Mr Barry. Interlinked plots that complex are a bitch to write. Can't fault it without sounding pedantic.

I think more Authors should try and make complex interweaving plotlines in their stories, it makes the book interesting and makes each character important.

That's a very good point, but they are, unfortunately, not as good at writing as Max barry is.

I agree, more writers should study Barry's work.

Working on it, you need to get something published to be called an Author.
