Deep Storm: A Novel by Lincoln Child
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
A bit dull and predictable but with enough interesting technology to make up for a bit of it. Instead of a "what will happen next???" excitement the book was more of a "Gee. Foiled again. Just as expected." book. The drama and excitement was so forced. For example, we are told the mystery is solved...but then the solver is murdered! And then the laptop is destroyed...or isn't it...or is it? There's a bomb...when will it explode...why isn't it exploding...oh, look - it exploded. It's just a bit too contrived for me. The idea was good, the Sentinels unlikely, the doctor able to figure it out unbelievable and the plot twists too obvious.
All that said, it wasn't too bad of a listen. I did, in fact, finish the book. I even have a Lincoln Child book on my iPod right now.
