This was a very good read, a real page turner! Just when I thought it was going to be a typical sci-fi story, it turned into a Tom Clancy/John Grisham suspense thriller in the middle. I found the plot interesting and the pace moved at a good clip. The structure of the story builds logically, with enough plot twists to keep it interesting, yet easy to follow. The ending was quite satisfying¿ I really didn't expect it!. All details were wrapped up nicely, leaving no puzzling gaps for wonder. It would make a great movie!
