"The Accord, a virtual utopia where the soul lives after death and your perceptions are bound only by your imagination. This is the setting for a tale of love, murder, and revenge that crosses the boundaries between the real world and this virtual reality. When Noah and Priscilla escape into the Accord to flee her murderous husband, he plots to destroy the whole Accord and them with it. How can they hope to escape their stalker when he can become anything or anyone he desires and where does the pursuit of revenge stop for immortals in an eternal world?"--Page 4 of cover.

Review of 'The Accord' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

I got into this one quite well, especially digging the technology. There's one scene where these guys are sat having a conversation, knowing they're being watched, and all the time they're "talking" inanities, data's pinging back and forth between them on a mental level. Reminded me of the sort of mental focus needed to play chess in the dark a la Robert Heinlein.

The whole idea of the Accord was a bit odd and failed to sweep me in, but I enjoyed the romance, the potentialities, and especially the technology.
