In the year 2115 the world is drastically different. Natural disasters, climate change, and war has transformed the landscape into a vast wasteland, scattered with super cities. Set in a futuristic England, we meet Eric Rawlins, a well-trained, intelligent, genetically engineered man who was created by the London Security Agency (L.S.A.) to protect the innocent. 

Eric seems to have it all -- good looks, skills, and a perfect life -- until he finds himself up against Adam Larimore, the son of a billionaire, who is on a mission of his own. Eric's quest for peace is challenged as he embarks on a journey into the mind and secrets of the enemy, stumbling upon a discovery that will test his loyalties and cause him to question the very foundation of his beliefs... and his ideas as to who the enemy really is. 

This is a well written story. And while the intricate details of the technology, and life in a futuristic England helped to illustrate the scenes, there was a lack of explanation as to how the technology came about, and how it was being funded in a world of global devastation. It left me feeling bewildered. 

A romance between the main characters never overshadowed or distracted from the main plot. And although I would have liked to see more romantic elements, it was well paced, with complimentary themes. Despite the few minor issues, the story flowed, with vivid descriptives, enjoyable passages, and a cliffhanger that left me wanting to continue on with the journey!
