Back when they were students Simon and his friend Ray had dreams to become rock stars. Fifteen years later, their mid-thirties are bearing down fast and they're having to accept a less glamorous life. Ray takes refuge from his responsibilities by living a virtual existence in online games. People say he needs to grow up, but everybody finds their own way of coping. But for Simon it's serial murder, mass slaughter and professional assassination.©2001 Christopher Brookmyre (P)2015 W.F.

Thought this was interesting with a lot of background on the main characters. It caught me out a couple of times when I thought it was going to get predictable, but it didn’t.

A good in depth story

disappointed to hear Rank Bajin pronounced Bajeen. it's Bad yin. Bud Neill turning in his grave. other than that it's unbeatable vintage Christopher Brookmyre.

Brilliant. but....

I really enjoyed this book after a slow start. Good characters build up throughout. Unlikely hero proves that playing computer games can pay off.

two thumbs up
