While it was graphic, it was, thankfully, not gratuitous and that's the main reason I am willing to call this a good book in spite of the dark and the ugly.

In the end, everyone gets the ending they deserve, and while it may not be the ending I would have preferred, it was the right ending and, for that reason, I praise Cornish's skill all the more.

The plot is not terribly tangled but it has a couple of lovely twists and turns as the team's plans are complicated as they run afoul of other groups machinations.

...given that the book is aimed at pre-teen girls, I think it nails the level of complexity that it was going for perfectly.

While not as well written as Patient Zero, it's still fantastic with tight fight scenes and fascinating exploration of the effects of violence on the human psyche.

A tightly written Clancyesque techno-thriller with super secret government organizations, jihads, Machiavellian businessmen, well executed violence, plausible science and zombies!

So to recap: the good aliens rape human women to kill the bad aliens who want to kill the good aliens to keep themselves from being killed. I think that's fucked up and wrong.

With the quality of writing that I had seen previous to the ending, I was really expecting more.

It's written for someone who has read a lot of not-so-great children's books and needs something like a mental sorbet to cleanse the pallet...
