Review

What would you do if you were being chased by a sinister organization and only had a seven second lead on your pursuers? Mila is on the run from a futuristic English government agency that has placed a phone with a live video feed into her head. Considered a terrorist Mila is racing to save her life while her every action is monitored 7 seconds later.

This is a science fiction set in the near future, making it all the more frightening. In addition to a few editorial errors that should have been caught the plot is not fully developed. "Seven Second Delay" should have had a little more editing. What this book does is make readers think about how their own privacy is being eroded and consider the implications of the total loss of privacy. Readers who love futuristic technology, thrilling action and lost causes will appreciate this book.

Overall Book Score: good
