The dynamics between Bradley, his FBI friend/mentor, Derek, and Cassie are filled with heart and authentic human moments. They brought life and nuance to the storyline. The novel’s core message emphasizes how easily scientific marvels can be used for destructive purposes if left in the hands of dangerous people. Nevertheless, it shows that even in the face of chaos, resilience and teamwork make a huge difference. Thriller fans will be pleased. Highly recommended.
