Wow, this book was so awesome! I absentmindedly picked this up off my shelf after forgetting I bought it months ago. I thought I’d get it off my TBR list. I’m so glad I did! How is this book not more well-known? It was full of non-stop, action-packed, heart stopping intensity! The twists were literally at the end of every single chapter. I could not put this book down. It was surprisingly not at all cheesy. The characters were believable and so was the storyline for being in a semi-futuristic setting. If you’re looking to get out of a reading rut, this will do the trick!

A classic John Marrs. Full of twists and drama. I finished this book really quickly as it has the usual short snappy chapters and you are never waiting too long for something to happen.
I liked the individual twists this book slowly revealed for each character and it kept me interested throughout. It was not just drama reserved for a small portion of the book so kept me engaged. And there really were some wow moments.
That being said, the last 15% of the book did feel a bit much for me. It was just one reveal after another and got harder to follow. It felt a bit of a complex explanation for an otherwise snappy read.
I like this speculative fiction genre and it really makes you think that our world is not that far away from this, and these events are not a million miles away from us.

Quick read. Great premise. Fast-paced. Believable. Another winner for John Marrs. This is my second read of his, after The One. I now need to check out his others.
