La narrazione in prima persona e la scrittura scorrevole rendono piacevole la lettura. Unica nota stonata la trama, interessante e ben articolata, ma a mio avviso poco realistica. Ma questo è un mio giudizio personale che nulla toglie al libro nel suo complesso che risulta coinvolgente e appassionante. For a start, the protagonist isn't an ex-SF operator, yet often he slips into the mindset of one, which I felt jarring. But my main issue was the areas of the plot that either made no sense, or were just soo far fetched it again felt jarring. He’s out to rob the people who sit at the very top of the financial pyramid, the one per cent who own the vast bulk of the world’s wealth. But these are not the kind of people to mess with, as Mercer learns to his cost when one of his break-ins goes disastrously wrong.
