Interesting interplay between the game world and real world in this book. If you like a smart main characters than this is for you, but be prepared to be annoyed at the arrogance of the main character. Also, while I like the voice actor, the voice used for Jack is kinda annoying. Great use of political intrigue with a network of factions and sub-factions. Overall a decent follow up to the first with good lead in for the third.
