Impossible to enjoy, as too much of the "science" is ridiculous, impractical and would leave Darwin and Michael Crichton spinning in their graves. And there is a ton of it. Beasts, insects and plants that would never evolve or survive for ten minutes populate nearly every page of this
poor excuse for a Sci-Fi thriller.

Crichton fans will cringe as they turn the page, for fear of what nonsensical chimera will show up next. Suspension of disbelief becomes more and more difficult to maintain after each chapter.

What kills me is, this could have been a great story. I LOVE the idea. But Fahy killed my expectations off pretty early on, and my disappointment grew until I finally couldn't read on.

5 stars for the idea.
1.5 stars for the execution -- and I'm using both meanings of the word.
