I was hoping to enjoy this book, as it contains all the sorts of things I like to read about: sci-fi, Native American mythology, and a thriller mystery. Unfortunately it did not all come together and was too much like reading a script for an action/thriller/horror movie. I would have loved more time spent on deeper character development, especially the relationship between Cherokee dad Jim Hardgray and his daughter, Tawny. I especially loved the mystic details and Native American mythology woven into the telling of the tale and wished there was more of that. The narrative grapples with deep questions about our place in the Universe and what exactly the Universe IS. It is genuinely thought-provoking, but certain parts were too heavy with tech/horror descriptions which I started to find tedious.
