I really liked the overall concept behind this story.  I enjoy the genre of discovering amazing things on the planet etc.  The story was reasonably well written, but what stopped me from giving five stars is a couple things.  One, I felt the dialogue was often stilted and unrealistic.  Almost too formal, that is not how people would speak to each other particularly in a family setting.  Two,  there were some inconsistencies....the borders were supposed to be shut down both in and out of the United States,  yet one of the bad guys catches a flight out of the country.  Also, the ending was kind of rushed, just neatly wrapped up in a narrative, rather than "experiencing"  the wrap up....But, overall it was a good story with some fun ideas and mainly an enjoyable read
