Title: Churned out formula.
Review: Skipping over parts of this books isn't just easy it is necessary. The basic formula is that all the bad guys end up dead and all the good guys end up heroes. And the especially sad thing is that it is possible to tell the bad from the good in the first introduction of the character. While I like to use books to escape from reality I also expect a certain amount of realism in them. Please tell Mr. Preston that scientific research, peer review and publication takes much longer than 3 days to accomplish. This comes from an author once worked in a scientific environment and should know better. But Mr. Preston's most damning fault is that he has set up a line of sequels. If this is what to expect from future books then no thank you.
