Toppin is the third in an excellent sci-fi trilogy. It starts out with a nice summary of the two other books to aid the reader in understanding and getting one up to speed. Josie is an interesting character. She’s from just a little past our time but sleeps in a pod for more than three hundred years, finding herself in the future.

It starts quickly and keeps going to its thrilling conclusion. The reader gets the nitty gritty description of Chicago, the toughest parts, a hell on earth. Life in this area is short.

Many pet owners will say that animals do have feelings, but many scientists disagree, saying that ascribing human characteristics to the nonhuman is anthropomorphism.
