Helpful Score: 1

Oh, this was an exciting and fun read! I really do like Alten's writing - it's immediate and pretty thrilling, with all of the excitement dragged out in a suspenseful way. I liked this one more than I thought I would because military topics, technology and super computers are not really the types of things that I usually choose to read about - so much so that despite liking Steve Alten's books, I hesitated to pick this one up. But, Alten was even able to make these topics full of excitement. There was also a rather interesting political statement made throughout the book, amidst all of that suspense... I don't recall any of his other books full of this type of "message." I am looking forward to reading the next installment in the _Meg_ series, though I probably won't be rushing off to buy any sequels to this one...
