I received a free copy in exchange for my honest review. My review contains no spoilers.The story has a good premise, but it was incredibly confusing. I couldn't decide if it was modern day or sometime during the Cold War. The lead scientist doesn't seem to actually like science and not just a case of burn out...but literally considers science unscientific and says as much. The detective and sidekick reminded of detectives from the 1920's or '30's.The conclusion I drew was that it was set in modern day Hawaii with people from previous decades and maybe a scientist from the future.The writing itself was good, but the descriptive prose was a touch much in places.It had potential, but fell a little short. Not understanding the time frame was a huge stumbling block to understanding the characters, particularly since they seemed to be from different eras.
