Daniel Suarez
The shocking techno-thriller that cements Daniel Suarez's status as the heir to Michael Crichton and Tom Clancy - a terrifying, breathtaking, and all-too-plausible vision of the world's near future.
Unmanned weaponized drones already exist: they're widely used by America in our war efforts in the Middle East. In Kill Decision, best-selling author Daniel Suarez takes that fact and the real science behind it one step further, with frightening results.
Linda McKinney is a myrmecologist, a scientist who studies the social structure of ants. Her academic career has left her entirely unprepared for the day her sophisticated research is conscripted by unknown forces to help run an unmanned - and thanks to her research, automated - drone army. Odin is the secretive Special Ops soldier with a unique insight into the faceless enemy who has begun to attack the American homeland with drones programmed to seek, identify, and execute targets without human intervention.
Together, McKinney and Odin must slow this advance long enough for the world to recognize its destructive power, because for thousands of years the "kill decision" during battle has remained in the hands of humans - and off-loading that responsibility to machines will bring unintended, possibly irreversible, consequences.
But as forces even McKinney and Odin don't understand begin to gather, and death rains down from above, it may already be too late to save humankind from destruction at the hands of our own technology.

More Mainstream Thriller than Techno-thriller

Is there anything you would change about this book?
This wasn't a terrible book but it wasn't Daemon. Some of the characters are bit annoying. I didn't connect with McKinney. Some of the most entertaining characters are killed off very early. Also, the book seemed to take a long time to develop any rhythm.How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
Increase the pace and (SPOILER ALERT) keep the Stanford team alive a bit longer. They seemed interesting.Have you listened to any of Jeff Gurner’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Gurner is a class act when it comes to narrating.Was Kill Decision worth the listening time?
Yes. If you like techno-thrillers that get a bit too crazy. If you liked "Swarm" you'll like this.Good, but a step back for Suarez

What's really amazing is the frightening fact that reality is so close to the story of military drones in the book.
Entertaining techno thriller

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
Big fan of Daniel Suarez but this is not his best work. I would recommend it only after reading his earlier work.Not his best work

Good action throughout.

That said, his ideas are thought provoking (though not as powerful as Daemon's) and the story is interesting. If you liked his earlier books, you will enjoy this, if not as much. Once again Jeff Gurner narrates ably
Interesting ideas, usually an interesting story
