#15 The Quantum Thief by Hannu Rajaniemi

For a book that isn't thick the story is nice and dense. There are ideas in it that are not new but they were used to good effect in the story. The reader is plopped down right in the middle and you have to keep up there is no spoonfeeding any back story to the reader at all and it was a nice change of pace. Straight up SF novel and that was certainly a change of pace for me.  Not sure if I will pick up the next one as soon as it comes out or wait until the third one and read them back to back.
