This is hands down the best book I've picked up in years! I have to admit that I don't read many books each year, but this one is a masterpiece and is begging to be turned into a high-end TV series. I'm literally gripped page after page. The subject interests me greatly, which is obviously an influencing factor, but the way this is written means you get into the story very quickly and it naturally carries you from page to page. I can't recommend this highly enough.
