However, it's a lot. And it makes for a book that is rather too long for its underlying plot. The narrative sprawls and meanders and ''The Lord of Opium'' loses tension because of it. This isn't a book you can't bear to put down. I hate to say it, because I loved ''House of the Scorpion'' so much, but I was a little bit disappointed in this sequel. Sorry.
Another interesting series looking at whether genetic and microchip manipulation of humans is about [[Jimmy Coates: Revenge by Joe Craig|Jimmy Coates]] and by Joe Craig. It also creates a violent world and asks whether nature or free will win through. We also have a review of [[The Islands of the Blessed (Sea of Trolls Trilogy) by Nancy Farmer]].
