Crux

Knowing how difficult it is to write a follow up book to a well received first one, I must salute Ramen. The second edition picks up right from where the last one left us both in terms of speed and almost in terms of narrative. We see the best of Nexus before we see its worst. We also see the introduction of some new characters both black and white. And the finale is equally sumptuous with all the key players converging in Burma. Being Asian I loved the justice done to this part of the world in the first book and Ramez does even better this time. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Onwards
