thinde's review
3.0
Parts of this series are so good that it hurts a little that the author, on occasion, takes so little care.
When the central part of your story is clearly fantastical, (genetically engineered supermen), the rest of the story must be dripping in realism. It takes a spoon full of honey to make the medicine go down.
So, when a massively powerful organization loses its leader, can we assume that the directors won't simply turn to their greatest individual detractor and hand him the reins? And leading up to that stupid moment, we watch as Schmidt asks Mark if he would be willing to take over running said organization, despite Schmidt trying and failing to influence this organization in the slightest. What? I see this thing that I want but don't have... I give it to you. Is Hindmarsh trying to sell us the Brooklyn bridge?
And just one other nail in the coffin, if a group contains a mind-reader then can we not also have a spy in their midst.
Nope, I've had enough.
