This book is a page turner that kept me on the edge of my seat, as I tried to anticipate what would happen next. The author does a great job of creating suspense and tension, as well as building a realistic and horrifying world. The characters are well-developed and complex, especially Joe, who struggles with his conscience and his loyalty to his family.
The most disturbing part of the book is the vivid description of the Antennas' suffering during the 'tuning' session, which made me feel phantom pains on my end. I could almost feel or imagine the agony and torture that they endured, and the anger and hatred that they harbored. The author does not shy away from showing the brutal and gruesome effects of the experiments, and the moral and ethical implications of such research. The ending of the book is sad and shocking, as it reveals the true nature and purpose of the project, and the fate of the Antennas and Joe. It also brought clarity on how and where the HQ are actually getting their Antennas from (if I understood the ending correctly 😅).
