A decent thriller that takes a wild left turn. Enjoyable but not as good as I Am Pilgrim, has the same flaws along with a bizarre twist. Hunt for Red October meets Terminator plus some other stuff.

Between the genre hoping and the nonsensical science, I don’t know what was more annoying.

Honestly one of the oddest plot changes I’ve ever experienced. The second half of the book is like a completely different genre.

I started to get bored in the second part and according to reviews the second part only gets worse.

There is a complete turn of events in the last part I cannot quite understand where it came from. It is a spy book up until then, and all of a sudden it is an… apocalyptic? Dystopian? Alien-zombie? Time travel type of thing?
