Book review - Rat Runners

Title: Rat Runners
Author: Oisin McGann
Genre: dystopia/sci-fi
Similar books: Data Runner by Sam Patel
                     The Walled City by Ryan Graudin
Rating:
Pretty captivating

Summary: Scope, Manikin, Nimmo, and FX have been given a task that should be simple for thieves like themselves - collect a black leather box belonging to a murdered scientist. It's not so simple when the streets are patrolled by agents with x-ray vision and several different groups are after the box. It will take all their skills, wits, and a lot of luck to complete their mission and escape alive.

My Opinion: This book has a great undercurrent of tension through the bulk of the plot. The action is pretty much non-stop. I did feel like the end was somewhat abrupt and we don't particularly connect with the story on an emotional level. It is a great source of entertainment, if not particularly deep or thought-provoking.
More Information: Rat Runners releases January 13th.
