Excellent technothriller from an IT insider's point of view. Pineiro's writing keeps you in the middle of the conspiracy at all times.
I was impressed that a technology professional could write such an accessible, apocalyptic and believable novel without getting bogged down in geek speak. Great read!

This book was kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. The transition from one viewpoint to the next was just perfect. The characters where not forgettable and it was amazing to see the differences between the 2 versions of different people. The ending left me wanting more but at the same time was a perfect ending to the story. Definitely going to add this author to one of my favorites after this.
4.5 stars
This was strangely enjoyable. Full of stereotypes and clichés, like a power-hungry general and typical other-universe oddities, as well as repeated explanations of what happens when one strikes the Vegas nerve or the magazine capacities of various military-issue handguns and rifles.
Overall, it was a pretty straight forward sci-fi thriller that kept pretty close to the cuff for this genre. There were a couple of shocking scenes towards the end of the book that felt out of place, like when Agent Riggs and his wife were captured, tortured and killed, which seemed completely unnecessary to the story. I mean, we already know how ruthless the general is, so this didn't add anything to his ruthlessness.
I listened to the Audible version of the book, which was very well done. The narrator was perfect for this one, especially when discussing the scientific aspects of the storyline.… (altro)
