While it isn't wholly bad, it isn't good either.  It's boring and about 200 pages too long.  Would have worked better as a novella that didn't drone on and on about uninteresting details.

Also if you read the description of this book and pick it dead set on a dark sci-fi.  It's a bait and switch you find out in chapter 2.  I only read it after that point to finish because I like domestic contemporary thrillers, but this book was the slowest and most unthrilling story.

This book tried to do too much and failed at everything.
