Book Description:
Shadowy and mysterious characters are using New York's smallest crime family, a sort of boutique operation of smugglers and so-called illegal facilitators, to get something into North America. Told from three third-person perspectives, the story concerns a journalist backed by a mysterious Belgian industrialist, a young Cuban-Chinese go-to guy from a secretive clan of criminals, and a junkie fluent in Russian, who get caught up in a search for a mysterious shipping container.

This book is not the 'intense' type of Gibson I know and like. Its a good enough story, but lacked the 'edge' that most of his other books had. I can't fault him for not being able to stay on the cutting edge of imagination and 'tech', but it would be so sad if this turned out to be a 'last' book and not one that readers should remember him for.

William Gibson is incapable of writing a bad book! Characters that are interesting, a complicated plot and a great ending! I've read all of his books and they're all great!
