Title: About 350 pages too long -- Trying to summarize other reviews
Review: Let me try to bullet point the other reviews.* This is science fiction -- not Cook's typical Medical thrillers* It would actually make a much better short story. (Atlantis Lives) It could be told very well in about 75 pages or a hour long TV show* The characters are fairly flat and one dimensional.* The plot, while not bad, is reminiscent of a 1950s twightlight zone, or 60s Star Trek episode. Its very straightforward and you can see where its going.* The ending twist was one I didn't find that amusing -- again, a decent short story conclusion, but not enough for a full novel.Saying that, the book isn't *that* bad. I think some reviewers might have been expecting something more in the lines of Cook's other works. I would give it a little more than 2 stars, but given the lenght it's closer to 2 than 3.
