The body they find sends them on an emotion-ladened hunt for the real killer. Destination: Earth – where things are distressingly not the way either of them remembers. The troubling truths they uncover threaten more than just Earth, forcing Jovan to face a personal choice that could save everyone…or damn them forever.

A lot of potential for rich, nuanced story telling in this world. I look forward to seeing more of Ptolemy Lane and others from his world! I felt like I was in a black and white sci-fi avant-garde movie. Humphrey Bogart is in the background somewhere, smoking a Camel cigarette, or maybe a future Sherlock Holmes. I have truly enjoyed Cameron's other books, but this one is so very different from all the rest. Ptolemy Lane is one of the most unique characters I've seen in awhile! Very interesting, beautifully written, complex story. Very interesting and imaginative, it's like Cameron has already been there and lived that! Original and entertaining. Snappy action with unpredictable characters in a captivating world! I love this series and can’t wait for the next installment Lane is utterly complex and leaves the reader wanting more. I actually felt bad for how Ptolemy Lane started his day This is such a clever story! A complex world which is presented with mystery , intrigue and entertainment I find Ninety-Nine a most interesting character Cameron’s short stories were awesome in themselves but a mind like Jovan’s has got to have an expanded adventure Very cleverly written mystery - it is all in the detail with this one While I have loved all the short stories, this one tops them all. Cameron is a great writer who keeps his readers captivated with his interesting plots and twists and turns throughout the series. Very well written and edited book with well developed characters and continuing drama I’m already excited about the next part of this series A wonderful story of who done it, told as only Cameron Cooper can.
