This book came highly recommended by a friend, but it still took me surprise. A great world, with great characters on an awesome adventure.

Action packed
Revisado: 04-26-12
I like most of Stephenson's books, so it probably shouldn't have been a surprise that this one rocked my socks. It is a ridiculously action packed book. And that may the one negative, the action goes on for so long and to such lengths that it loses some of its credibility.
Its was an absolute blast though, and the virtual pages kept turning. The narrator does a great job of keeping all the characters distinct. It comes very highly recommended.

Historia4 out of 5 stars 145
One hundred and fifty years from now, in a world where Africa is the dominant technological and economic power, and where crime, war, disease and poverty have been banished to history, Geoffrey Akinya wants only one thing: to be left in peace, so that he can continue his studies into the elephants of the Amboseli basin. But Geoffrey's family, the vast Akinya business empire, has other plans.
