Oddly, I found the story line engaging but I was disappointed by the fact that it is a precursor to a second book and I really couldn't see the point for a second book.  There were a number of interesting themes to the story but I am not inclined to read the second book because there was no sense of an overarching goal that had to be reached or some kind of surprise ending.  Characters were interesting but except for the main female they lacked significant depth.  The genesis of Malcolm introduces the idea of visitors from another planet but again it was not so interesting that I will be inclined to look for the second book.  In fact I read Uprising a few months ago and had to read it again before removing it from my kindle to be sure that I hadn't accidentally missed reading it.  I guess the lack of any real excitement in the story made it forgettable, hence, at best it was OK.
