I was offered this book for review, and since I get a lot of these I don't normally have high expectations. I was pleasantly surprised by how engaged I was in the story, especially the 30,000-year-old segments of the story. The book flashes back and forth in time, but not in an aggravating way. It's an enjoyable and thrilling read with just enough scientific background to make it sound plausible to a layman. And isn't that what we're looking for when we escape in a thriller?If you like smart thrillers with unexpected heroes (read: geeks and social misfits), you'll like this book. I'd read other books by this author, especially a followup to this one (which he so deftly left an opening for...)
