THE MECH TOUCH!!!.... IT'S ONE OF A KINDIt starts out great.The build-up, characters ,world set-up, everything about the book is just so exquisite . It does have its low period where you feel like quitting and looking for other sci-fi novels to soothe your thirst for a wonderful write-up and then you find out that THERE'S NONE LIKE IT. Then you come back and start reading again and the author delivers like rain after an extreme drought . There's a reason it tops sci-fi search rankings..... IT IS THE BEST THERE IS.
