The Sci-Fi world is not a major role in the story. This book is more of a Sci-fi backdrop, murder mystery with some romance thrown in. I like the strong, clear writing. The mystery was good. I like the hint that even though there have been advances some themes will always remain constant in the world of money, and politics. What rubbed the wrong way was the change of POV in from one sentence to another. Became a bit jarring at times.

The main character, Eve, is a very strong, independent, and smart female lead. Not sure how I feel about Roarke, the love interest, who is smart and strong but can be alpha at times. In these Alpha time I find Eve holds her own and that allows Roarke to grow on the reader. But in the beginning he comes off as a creeper and it's hard to shake that image.
