"RIVER OF GODS defies labels. It’s at once cyberpunk and post-cyberpunk, awash in the verbiage of globalization and emerging-markets uncertainty. As the story’s huge cast of characters tumbles toward their individual destinies in tomorrow’s India, it’s hard to believe that McDonald doesn’t have a time machine stored somewhere in his backyard, perhaps in a rusty tool shed or underground bunker. There are some big books that you know are mostly filler; others, such as RIVER OF GODS, could easily be twice their size and still be amazing."
