Keyhole by George Morrison
Nick has a gambling problem. A problem that has become so big it is now a matter of life and death. But not to worry, his friend. Egrog. has a scheme that will make them both rich and solve all of Nick's problems. But Egrog's plans don't always work out and this new scheme might turn out to be more dangerous than the thugs following Nick.
This is a fun, light, silly, slightly goofy book. It poses questions like 'is God real?' and 'in an advanced society why is there still crime?' which may sound like heavy reading material, but don't worry, there is very little thinking needed here. The characters are interesting and the plot has enough excitement and surprises to keep you reading without getting bored. It moves at a good pace and you will find that it will not take you very long to read. If you like comic science fiction this is worth a look. It would be a good choice when you just want to be entertained without putting a lot of work or thought into it. I enjoyed it and I think if you like science fiction and fun you will too.
I got a free copy of this book from Librarything.com, Early Reviewers.
