“I bought this online the minute it came out. What a topic for today's world of terrorism. His story is so well written that I finished it in the least amount of time I've ever read a book. I could not stop turning the pages.”

I guess I just don't care for the way this was written. A man who is indian gets ripped off with an invention of a battery (government override patent and even gets him thrown in jail) winds up selling hash - guns - diamonds so he can get enough money to get his evens. He falls in love with mail order bride. Basic good story but I didn't care for the writing.”

I found myself having a hard time rooting for anyone, as the antagonist had been so irrationally wronged that I felt he had a case, and on the other hand his plans were so destructive that I didn't want that to happen.
I also found the actions of the books "hero" seemed unlikely to me.
The government agents were cardboard cutouts that made consistently stupid decisions to drive the plot.
And the ending was implausible beyond belief.
It really wasn't a very good book. Several times I almost didn't finish it and I even read (and finished) another book while I was reading this one. Genesis Code is the pinnacle of this author's work.”
