The story is pretty interesting and has a great premise. There is a bit of political leaning from the author, but didn't feel preachy. Main female character felt unrealistic and made a few odd choices, and the reader could have made things worse because he read her in a way that she constantly sounded upset/whiny.

I like the subject and the way it was paced. Suarez has an issue with suddenly making huge jarring leaps in time, but this book had the leaps but wasn't quite as jarring...but still some lost time that felt odd. The action was very well put together and didn't have many "video game injuries" (like when someone gets shot a few time, but can still fully function).

Thoroughly enjoyable read.

Yes, I will listen to this again in a few years. Daniel Suarez does it again, Couldn't stop listening to this book!

There are two main characters in this book - Odin and Professor McKinney. I'll say I like Odin more, because he's got this "Die Hard" refuses to die even when the odds are stacked 1000-1 against him quality. He does not give up.

I don't want to spoil it. But the climax was pretty good.

No, neither laugh nor cry. But I couldn't stop listening to it. I had to listen to it before going to bed, and listen to it over lunch at work. Went through the book in 3-4 days.

Daniel Suarez is an amazing writer, and Jeff Gurner does a good job bringing the book to life as the narrator. I would buy any book Daniel Suarez writes.

Absolutely, it's the rare, if not only book, for which I've wanted to pen a review.

Having worked in various military, tech and science areas at various points in my life I can say that Mr. Suarez is a master at capturing the mentality and character of those environments and the people who populate them. I loved the book and will likely listen to it again and recommend it to friends.

Given my background it won't be surprising that I feel I need to criticize here.

Be aware that literary license is taken throughout this book, sometimes to the point of being a bit didactic to those familiar with the specific topic at hand, but Mr. Suarez does a good job at keeping this in check while also making the story assessable to a wider audience.

To me it's clear Mr. Suarez is most comfortable with the tech world, less so with the scientific community and even less so with the military. For example, I find it unlikely that even the most elite special ops personal, especially those targeting the tech area, are also masters of close combat, comfortable with all manner of machines and equipment, and in extreme physical and mental fitness (and in some cases also thoughtful and good looking). It takes a lot of time to master and maintain these skills, and some might even be mutually exclusive given that one only has so much time in a life, which is why a team like that in the book is likely to be much larger than is portrayed.

Also, the scientists in the book aren't nearly argumentative enough. They depend more on expansive knowledge (detailed properties of chemicals or other obscure facts) than on the power of basic scientific problem solving for my taste. But again, that's only going to occur to you if you work with such people.

Still, there isn't too much hyperbole or unrealistic plot conveniences moving this story, which I appreciate a lot.

Please write more Mr. Suarez.

This was my first audio book along with the first Daniel Suarez novel. It did not disappoint me at all, great writing and well read.

the book was fun to listen to, kept me interested the whole time and was an interesting concept. it lacked a little meat in some places as there was more i wanted to know about certain people/groups, but maybe there'll be a sequel? well worth the credit. the main hero reminded me of "mike turcotte" from the "area 51" books by bob mayer. so if you liked those...

This novel was lots of fun because it explores some interesting, and realistic, technology that could change the world over the next decade. Of course, the plot also has action and romance. Excellent.

While I don't read a lot of fiction I had heard of the Author through the twit network and thought I had to list to one of his books. It was amazing and I can't wait to listen to more. I really want to listen to Deamon and Feedom but they are not available on audible in my country :(.

Kill decision is very realistic and gives you a lot to think about.

Jeff Gurner brought the story to life with a fantastic performance.

Suarez delivers a riveting "page turner" that's just fun to listen to. Definitely come back again to it.

Gurner, having listened to him in Suarez two previous books, has a good grasp of the style. He has the sound needed for these very contemporary technological tales. The right mix of confidence and smarm.

A first time author for me suggested by audible. The genre for this book is techno thriller and from that perspective it was interesting. The author was a technology consultant to the US Gov't's defense industry so from a technical angle he should know what he's talking about. I think it's amazing that Google maps and MapQuest have mapped out the entire globe and it's at our fingertips. I know I kind of suspect that out government plus others and the bad guys we are fighting have taken technology to levels that are incomprehensible. This book takes you there and paints a picture of how technology might be used in the near future, who knows, maybe it already is. With drone use currently in the news, this book is really apropos but the author takes the technology to even greater levels than drones. The author weaves an interesting tale integrating in these new technologies. You wonder if it isn't far fetched then eerily think that is just might not be so far fetched. If anything it's a bit disconcerting and scary even. If you like these kinds of books, you'll like this one.

Drones are bad , Drones with no pilot are terrifying .
Jeff Gurner is a great narrator
