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.
