It was a really interesting world and I really enjoyed the way the audiobook was done, adding music was a great choice. I would love to see it adapted into a movie.

I enjoyed this for what it was, a fun short audio thriller. Not much critical for me to say. I was amused by the play on the acronym DNR meaning Do-Not-Replicate.

Consistent character motivations. Mystery is well written. Enjoyed the action sequences! Feels very authentic, like they talked with real special forces people to write this book. Some graphic description of gore.
Nice audio production, with tasteful background music and a few well done sound effects. Great voice acting!

Moderate: Violence and Body horror

Some graphic description of gore. Took it a bit further than I would have preferred, but not enough to make me stop reading. It came up a handufl of times but they were all references to a single event that means it decreased in intensity/shock in my mind.
