Raw and intense
Ganzberger pens a magnificent techno-thriller story in NAIMERA: Absence of Grace, This is not only the first time I've read something from this author, but also a genre described as techno-thriller. I now know exactly what that means, and this was the story to show me. I am very impressed with Ganzberger's storytelling skills, and bringing thrills and even chills to this reader. It's a whole new world for former FBI Agent Mike Murphy, but he learns you can't just turn away from the past. In fact, it is his past and training that is perfect not only for his new job, but the whole new world that he faces while trying to save his new boss's daughter. It's a magnificently told story that brings the tech world with action packed, thrilling scenes. I loved the story, and characters, and how it plays out. There isn't just one plot, there are a lot of smaller ones that make the entire story work. The author's technique of intense characters and great plotlines is a gift. It's a great story to follow and try to figure out what will happen next. It's definitely an attention grabber. The thrills and intrigue is written clearly and the characterizations are engrossing. I look forward to reading many more stories by this author. This book is a definite recommendation by Amy's Bookshelf Reviews.
