I am a Matthew Reilly fan so yes, I may well be a little biased here.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Fast paced, some tech details to make it plausible, and a great big survival adventure set in a contained claustrophobic style environment.
Highly entertaining, different enough from his Scarecrow and Jack West novels to stand nicely on its own.
Great to have a female lead who although she has trauma has not allowed it to hamper her life.
It didn't feel as ‘at home' as some of his other novels but maybe that's because I know his ‘regular' characters and these are new ones.
Characterisation is well done. My only real complaint is that it reads so quickly!
