Pandora's Box (1) : Pride

The Pandora's Box series by Alcante is really one worth taking notice of, each book takes one of the seven deadly sins as its theme but presents a modern and intelligent story of the folly of mankind and the misuse of technology. There is also an eighth book in the series which looks like it brings all the themes together but we'll get to that another day (not been published in English yet!)

This first book focuses on Pride via a story on human cloning, vanity and the ruthless quest for power no matter the consequences that takes place during a US Presidential election. Its a dark book with an involved yet fast paced plot.

A lot of ethical questions are raised by the book, something which features across all of the series. Makes you think huh? Can't complain about that!
