The first book in this series was a great book and a solid 5 stars. The second was good but only worth 4 stars. This the third at best is ok and 3 stars is generous.
What started out as a post apocaliptic/distopian themed trilogy in this book became much more Sci-fi with a science journal feel to it. There were some part of the book that will make your eyes glaze over. Here's an example taken from towards the end of the book:
'The other three sat impassive staring blankly.
"That means that electrons move along their DNS molecules until quantum teleportation takes place when they hit the right enantiomeric pairing, which breaks coherence..."
He looked around. "- Crickets." '
The fact that even the characters in the book had no clue is a sign not many readers will either.
Truthfully I was disappointed, I really enjoyed the first book this ending just seems flat. Had I not already been invested in the characters I doubt I could have awarded 3 stars, it really is hanging on the coattails of it's predecessors.

Edit:
After reading Stephen King's - The Stand, I would say that fans of that book, would love this book and this well-written series. So I would recommend this series to Stephen King fans.
Out-there, implausible but very imaginative and positive.
This is book 3 of the series and feels like it is written by another author. The biological technologies become much harder to understand and less plausible in my opinion. The narrative endeavours to mix sci-fi and religion, which really didn’t work for me. I was invested in the characters from the first 2 books and this is what kept me reading. I did like that there was much more positivity in this story than in many other apocalyptic novels.
I would recommend this book to readers who read book 1 & 2 as it does have a satisfying ending.
