The story centers around Martin, Jeanie and Derrick Thomas. Martin is a genius working for the government. His children Jeanie and Derrick have also been employed by the government in the police force. Sound intriguing to a point.I understand this is a YA book, but till. It has some serious gaps. Multiple punctuation issues, missing words, sentences that don't add up and much, too much rambling about Jeanie and her relationship with her father. The character development of Derrick is really bad. One chapter he's a blubbering child while the next time he's blowing a guys head off. I never felt any connection to him.The sections that were discussing the experiments Martin was working on were long, boring and cumbersome. Appeared to be more filler than informative. This could be shortened up considerably and still drive home the results over the chosen time periods.The continual us of the term "Why is it so dark in here," is inserted all through the work. I believe the purpose was to build suspense. In the end, I really didn't care why it was dark.Overall, this book needs to be rethought and rehashed.
