The Human Disguise (Tom Wilner, 1) di James O'Neal
page 105 and I realize I'm skimming. Terrorist thriller with a sci-fi setting. Meh.
The Human Disguise and The Double Human by James O'Neal takes place in Florida, by the Miami quarantine zone, in a future dystopian United States.
In The Human Disguise, when police officer James Wilner follows his wife and her lover into a bar to observe them, he inadvertently sets off a series of events. His investigation involves him in a bigger conflict between two ancient families. In The Double Human Wilner is investigating a "vampire" serial killer.
The Human Disguise is author O'Neal's debut into science fiction. He is an award winning crime/police procedural writer under the name James O. Born. This novel, and the second, The Double Human, are crime novels set in a future society rather than science fiction novels that involve an investigation. You need to know this. Because of this fact, both novels will likely appeal to those who enjoy crime/action novels more than those who prefer science fiction. I enjoy both types of novels, however, since my choice of these books was based on expecting more science fiction, I'll admit I was disappointed.
You will need to read the first novel, The Human Disguise, before The Double Human. The two stories are interconnected and the first book will explain more about this future society. Additionally, I felt like they both started out strong but lost some momentum in the investigation and all the fire fights. The potential of this future world was there but the plots didn't utilize it as much as I hoped. I also found some typos (see quotes) which is distracting for me because, unless I know it is an ARC, once I find one I start to look for more.) Actually, after reading both novels, I really think O'Neal needs to keep writing the O.Born crime novels because that is where his passion seems to lie.
Recommended for crime novels; so-so as science fiction

Intriguing story that builds up slowly, but speeds up dramatically towards the end. The story idea is interesting with sci-fi elements and a lot of action. I felt sympathy for both of the antagonists in the story as there were two rival clans and they both had good and bad characteristics and goals.
