This is no Neuromancer. The plot creeps along like cold molasses spilling across a table. The story is wrapped around some “intriguing�� video clips that are appearing on the web and the interest in the heroine’s (Cayce) employer in finding their source and capitalizing on them. Along the way is a lot of industrial espionage “action�� that never really pulled me in. I think that aside from the very slow pace, the major problem was the video clips. They’re the McGuffin that drives the plot, but you have to completely take them on faith. Even when Cayce finds the source and “watches�� them being made (an almost religious experience for her) I felt totally unmoved by them and was wishing the plot would advance faster.

There were some interesting issues being dealt with like did Cayce’s father really die on 9/11, but ultimately, that storyline didn’t get enough traction to hold my interest. Unfortunately, this is a novel that just didn’t work for me.
