Rating: 4 out of 5

A fun read about drones gone wild. Drones are a fairly cheap weapon of the future to manufacture. What happens when a fleet of them gets in the wrong hands? You get the techno action of Swarm.The main character runs across the world trying to prevent a mass drone attack, while dealing with questionable loyalties of his genius girlfriend. The author has a good handle of realistic technology and doesn't just throw out meaningless technobabble. I appreciate the diverse locations, pop culture references, moral dilemmas, and action.The plot starts to go off the rails a bit when the drone conspiracy is expanded to unrealistic proportions. There is also some editorial issues in the novel that need to be cleaned up. (Missed words, fragmented sentences, etc.)Overall a good read, and I'll seek out more work by the author.
