This reads like a mystery, whodunit novel. No thank you. I had no clue what was going on until the end. A very frustrating and not very interesting read. Ryan Perry is not a believable character. There was no building of suspense. Just a building of annoying questions. The …more ending is weak and unsatisfying. If, the book wasn't given to me as a gift I would have thrown it in the trash and given it "very poor" as a rating. I love Dean Koontz for his sc-fi. No sci-fi here. (less)
