The beginning of this book starts as a slow burn and if you can get past that, you will find that it seems to end as far as the approach to earth. The story is a great concept but it doesn't feel as strong as the previous books he's written. It would be nice to know more about life back on earth and the conclusion to the the Konstantin story. Maybe that's the best book?

although the story is amazing, and as always suarez deliver an action packed book, this story seems quite rush with a lot of blanks , over simplifications , and naiveness in many many places. timelines are scatter and clumsy, pushing too many limits to make it credible even as science fiction. I read and listen every book of Daniel Suarez, this is the first one that i got this impression. like a story that was rushed too soon by editors. would love to read or see the "notes" and sub stories that were cut out . The entire storyline could fill two books but then seems compressed badly into one. I still love the characters though. :)

This was really well written, and I'm glad it didn't turn out to be a massive capitalist circle jerk - which I was worried it might be for a bit. But the ending really let it down. Just the last chapter or so. If it had incorporated public revelation of the characters' achievements, something that far more realistic and satisfying than the silly cover up, it really would have been a great read. As it was, I ended the book feeling frustrated instead of ecstatic. Such a waste of good work.
