Y'know, I was very curious about this book, partly because I'm a recent McAuley fan, partly because its a biotech book.

However, I gave up on the book about halfway through because he didn't get to the freaking point! I like a good story with interesting characters, and this one has it with Alex Sharkey the initial viewpoint character, but after the setting moved to Paris it got slow. And this was with a Foreign Legion deserter with a combat personality on the loose.

So, maybe I'll revisit it and pick it back up, but I think its unlikely.
