conalo 's review for:

Influx by Daniel Suarez
4.0

Influx is a novel that has a very interesting premise and for the most part was a very enjoyable read. It details a world where technological inventions are controlled by a secret government agency. The people who generate these ideas are either conscripted to work for this agency or are sent to a special maximum security prison.
Things I liked:
Interesting characters and world building made for a fun read. All the different things invented over the years and now controlled by the Bureau for Technology Control were very cool!! Lots of action with futuristic weaponry and effects make this a novel that many people will enjoy
Things I wasn’t so sure about
The timeline seemed to not make sense in a few places. The quick turnaround by the main characters former friends and associates was not explained real well. These are pretty small niggles and did not really impact the story greatly.
4 stars for a fun read. Recommended for anyone who enjoys futuristic action thrillers
