''Venom'' is a roaringly good read. The only reason it got four Bookbag stars and not five is purely for the slow start because, to be honest, I think it delivers on every other level. In all conscience, I can't '''not''' recommend it to you!
If you think this book might appeal, and fancy a look at something in the same 'industrial espionage crime thriller' vein, you should also perhaps take a look at [[Vanished by Joseph Finder]]. If your interest has been piqued as to what science might make possible in the future (the old science fiction/science fact argument about what you saw in Star Trek in 1960 being real by 2060) and you fancy a meander into the Sci-Fi shelves, then maybe you should look at [[Hybrids by David Thorpe]] and maybe ppMothstorm [[Mothstorm by Philip Reeve and David Wyatt]] – I realise that both of these recommendations come under the Teen readers category, but I don't think their audience is limited, as both books are excellent on their own merits.
Lastly, we at Bookbag would like to extend our thanks to the kind ladies and gentlemen at Simon and Schuster for sending this copy to us for review.
