The first part of this book is really intense. A scientist dies of unexplained circumstances in the very first chapter, and the book doesn’t really slow down after that. Nearly every chapter ends with some sort of cliffhanger, which makes it really hard to put down. I liked the way Brown separated the chapters into different stories happening at the same time. As each of them begin to unfold, it made me wonder how they were going to relate, like Senator Sexton’s affair with Gabrielle and Rachel’s trip to the Arctic. I was very surprised when Rachel found out that NASA had discovered a meteorite with bug fossils in it, but after reading the summary I couldn’t help looking for signs that it was fake. So far, everything seems to be confirmed by the scientists, but the chapters involving Delta-One and his team make me think that something even more complicated is going on. The characters that have been introduced so far seem pretty interesting, except Senator Sexton, and I like how Brown added some comic humor between Corky, Tolland, and Norah. It seems pretty obvious that Rachel and Michael are going to end up together, after “fleeing for their lives across a desolate and lethal landscape.”
