I really enjoyed this one. An interesting thriller with NSA, the Israelis, a dying "mad" scientist, two medical doctors and an evolving intelligent computer rounds out the cast in this one. Iles deals with some controversial issues in this one. Concept of religion and nature of God combines with hard science in a way that is unlike anything I've read before. No not in the way of Hubbard nor is my Christian faith shaken in the least, but it fits in the story well and makes the story enjoyable and allows for a good suspension of belief. There are plenty of other hot issues that Iles touches on here. I'm not sure if he is a political or religious activist of any sort, but he would make a good one. Despite my disagree with the political and ethical issues he portrays in the book, they make for a good read and enjoyable story. Well done.

I read this a few years ago, and am a fan of most of Iles' work. His new book was due out last month, but is delayed until June. Major bummer!
That was my first of his books, but I went and picked up a bunch of his others.
