My rating: 2 of 5 stars

 

I rated the sample I read 4stars, as the prologue and first chapter or two held some real promise of a kickass story.

And overall, this was a decent cyber-thriller. Near the middle it started getting philosophical/theological and denying the existence of God. Lots of psychobabble about evolution “forcing” survival traits on humanity.

Then in the epilogue it lost it for me. Started talking about humanity “helping” god become God, or perhaps humanity becoming god.

Done with this author.

This review is for the sample I got from Amazon for my Kindle Touch.

I really enjoyed this. It started out with a merc physically bullying/kidnapping a female character which really put me off, but then it was placed in context. And Kontext can be King.

I read 2-3 chapters. Met the male protaganist and am still not sure about the lead female. I am definitely going to either borrow the full book from the library, or if they don’t have it, save my pennies and buy it from Amazon.

I am looking forward to the full story.
