Book Reviews of Forbidden Cargo
Book Review: Great Pace
Summary: 4 Stars
Hard to believe this is a first novel. Rowe's pacing in "Forbidden Cargo" pushes the reader through the story without dropping a beat. It is a 'whodunit' mystery, a crime story, a comment on social structure and 'government machinations' at every level, yet it is by no means a pondersome read. The story is well told and enveloping.
I have always been fond of stories with strong female characters. The mix of strength of character and naivete in Rowe's two primary characters is refreshing. The author seamlessly integrates artificial intelligence with humanity, and blurs the line between the two.
This book is plausible and believable, but more importantly, the story is *told well*. Kudos to the author for a smashing debut.
