Alex Ross does a phenomenal job here. I'm not much a fan of his work, but do recognize his talent. Steve Darnall's writing leaves something to be desired. Perhaps 7 years ago this story would seem a radical piece of literature but it's very uninteresting in today's political climate, where both pro and con arguments about the spirit of the U.S. choke airwaves and bandwidth. One measure of an artwork's quality is the ability to remain relevant. This book doesn't meet that measure.
