The book starts with a very interesting lead, but after that it seems to slow down. I was expecting the book to be really amazing since Sarah couldn’t put it down, but the beginning, besides the lead, didn’t seem all that exciting. When they finally got to the part where the “surprise” happened to be a fossil of extraterrestrial life, it kind of seemed like a letdown. They found a bug in a rock. It’s great that they found evidence of life on other planets, I was just expecting more. And, judging from the back cover, there is probably something fake about it. One thing I did like was that all the technology in the book actually exists. I thought that the mosquito surveillance robot was just some spy equipment Brown made up, so it was a good thing he put the statement in the beginning that said all the technology and some of the less known organizations are real. Delta Force will probably end up being the assassins that try to kill them, but so far they just seem mysterious. Despite starting a little slow, I’m sure that the plot will pick up now that most of the characters are introduced.

I think Lindsay has essentially hit the nail on the head here. It seems that just by reading the back cover of the book, most of the twists are no longer as interesting. The fact that most of the inferences that Lindsay made off the back cover will come true makes the book seem as though it will be a little dry. I also agree with her in that although the book may have started off slow, it does seem to be speeding up a bit more now that all the introductions are taken care of. Hopefully the “bug in a rock” will prove to be a bit something more than it seems to be right now.
