Interesting premise that's so ham-fistedly narrated and emotionally random I quit about half-way through to listen to [b:The Blinding Knife|12499290|The Blinding Knife (Lightbringer, #2)|Brent Weeks|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1659765885l/12499290._SY75_.jpg|17484647] for the third time.

Great book. I needed a book to get me back into reading and although it took me a few months to finish, I kept returning because the story was too good not to finish. Very well paced, keeps you on your toes.  I love sci fi and this was a warm welcome back to the genre. Excited to explore more books by Crichton.

4.5 only because the science mumbo-jumbo in the beginning about molecular assembly made my eyes roll back. Otherwise, another banger from Crichton.
