A very engaging read, I truly enjoyed the way in which Theo slowly untangles a complex web of lies and deceptions. I don't know how real the science behind the story truly is, but the use done of it is clever, and that's enough for me.
I understand why the end is what it is, I see how it is probably unavoidable, but it still leaves me with a sense of... innocence loss, maybe? Theo is in a darker grey zone now.
But I truly enjoyed the ride, and will hop in gladly into the next book.

Loved it
I loved seeing how Dr. Cray develops and comes off as much more human in this second book. The plot was great - was not expecting where it went. I look forward to book 3!

Really should probably be 4.5 stars. Definitely a solid second book for this author. Crazy story and kept me turning the pages.

This book has an X- Files feel to it so I would think if you like the X-Files this should be enjoyable for you! It's honestly hard to put into words what my opinion is on this book. I started May 9th and finished May 10th so that says it's a good listen, easy to keep at it. Theo is an odd character and he proves that throughout the book. Not that this is a bad thing, it almost highlights the reclusive nature of most scientist. Of course the actual science in the book has got to mostly be science fiction but no surprise there. The author has managed to make up various scientific "facts" to fit his narrative that sounds overall reasonable and rational to the untrained eye. Now I'm just rambling, read the book people!

Quick and enjoyable
Absolute page turner. Seemed to be a shorter story than book 1; but not less interesting. No shortage of stunning methods for finding the bad guys!!

One of the bedt series I've read
Theo Cray is a scientist. Facts are the only thing he respects, which in this world, is refreshing. Emotions, politics, and power games don't interest him, but justice does. If you like Orphan X, try this series. The amount of detail and information add a depth to the novels that I love. I'll be checking out the rest of Mr. Mayne's books.
