A review by mw2k
Final Days by Gary Gibson

2.0

Interesting core idea and it is compelling enough to hold you until the end, but it's one of those near future SF books, where all the military are full-blown hard-asses, all the corporate suits are 100% ruthless demons, threatening everyone and everything with death for "knowing too much". Everyone gets captured and then escapes least twice. There's no particular standout character in this book and you never really care about any of their motives or wants.

And it's 2235 AD and cars still run on ethanol? Nah...you have man-sized fusion generators but cars run on ethanol they generate themselves from eating grass?

Apart from the core concept, the other ideas aren't fully developed and there's a lot of dead ends and undeveloped plotlines.

An interesting mess all up.
