The Adventures of Will Irving romps along at a good pace from the very start. Curtis Castro’s entertaining and well-crafted story is full of vivid and believable characters whose motivations, personalities, and background stories drive the plot forward. I love the idea of setting a science fiction style tale in the past, giving us an alternative and entertaining story. The reader is kept in suspense as Will and his investigative partners pull out all the stops to solve the case of the missing scientist, and then get caught up in a series of nail-bitingly dangerous and risky situations.

This is a well-written story that combines science fiction with crime and mystery – resulting in an absorbing page-turner. There are plenty of surprises and twists along the way, and some intriguing connections and links between the experiences of different characters. I liked the way the story also explores themes of loyalty and sacrifice, and the consequences of revenge. An easy-to-get-into and entertaining book for fans of stories that combine mystery, private investigators, and robotic inventions that fall into the wrong hands.
