3.5
It was apparent that this book was published during the cold war era. The idea of secret organizations living right under society's nose, congregate living with no sense of individuality, and the building of weapons/advancement of technology for collective gain, is much less scary today. I found myself rooting for Hellstrom and the Hive more than I did the agency. Overall, a good book.
