The Anomaly by Michael Rutger
3.0

This book required me to suspend my disbelief past the point with which I'm comfortable. The protagonist is very carefully constructed to be, fundamentally, a good guy, whose occupation just happens to be fuelling conspiracy theories because his Hollywood career didn't pan out. He also has a fundamental misunderstanding of how the scientific method works and finds it "convenient" that scientists are allowed to change their minds from one year to the next. My guy, that's a feature, not a bug.

Anyway, I initially got past that because the story was engaging. And then the big twists weren't particularly subtle, and the way the story unfolds was entirely too silly for my taste.
SpoilerI entirely lost it at the unicorn and it only got worse from there.
