Helpful Score: 1

I enjoyed this book, think it's more of a mainstream-thriller type read, not the SF you usually get from WJ Williams. Most of the gamers I know are somewhat fanatics, so I could easily believe the story. Characters were real, likeable, albeit predictable. The beginning was a bit slow, but necessary Jakarta background violence and Dagmar's reaction sets up the rest of the book.

The story rests on the premise that on-line gamers (having varied backgrounds and skill sets) can be used to solve real world problems. The puppet-master (writer of the game) tries to end a world-wide financial crisis and solve several murders. Good stuff.
