Review: Too many things rolled into one.
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 02 23, 2013
This novel tries to mix too many strains into one- environmental thriller, corporate evil, mysticism, fantasy. I would have preferred that the narrative sticks to science rather than the occult. Perhaps I approached this novel expecting it to be a pure science based environmental thriller, but as I mentioned, that strain is just one part of the novel. High octane action and adventure forms a major part (in fact, dominant part), which is something I was not personally looking for. A novel with a similar flow and tenor is the 'The Swarm' by Frank Schätzing, which I highly recommend.
