Is
Nothing Sacred?
By Walter von Wegen
What
will New York and the world be like in 2044? Is Nothing Sacred?
takes an in-depth look at what terrorism, the Olympics, and New
York City would be like. Readers are introduced to Donovan, Hayte,
Shrini, and Dietrich, who are members on the NYPD who are faced
with several unknown robbers who have a mysterious way of getting
away. A major subplot to this story is a mysterious head of a well-known
American politician who is washed up in Italy.
Is
Nothing Sacred? is a great combination of mystery, science fiction,
and thriller. The science fiction component is not unrealistic and
takes the ideas of what has been happening today (i.e. cloning)
to a higher level. The mystery of the robberies is well developed
and not disclosed until the end, where who and what the robbers
have done in each robbery will intrigue the reader. The story is
fast-paced and keeps the reader intrigued with several minor subplots
of what is happening in the world (i.e. the Olympics). |
