If this were a Hollywood movie, Lawrence would be a deadbeat dad.  He’d have beef with Davis who’s now dating his ex-wife.  The ex-wife would be on Selene with their daughter who now hates Lawrence.  They’d probably have their dog with them.

There’s none of that bullshit here.  It’s written like a mystery, but in place of clues we have a series of challenges, physical or psychological, which must be solved.  Tense ending.  It’d been so long since I read it I couldn’t remember if they lived or died.
