One of the better Robin Cook books because not alot of time is spent on describing the technology / biology. Though, I wish there wasn't a requirement to visit the incredibly darker side of some people, to have a good mystery.
Just a cameo from Mr. Cook's medical examiner's team.

This is the type of science fiction and young adult that I enjoy; alot of technology and not alot of young adult angst. It also has a plot that moves along, no side tracking for topics that aren't relevant or pausing for too long, and characters that have some depth to them.

A rare form of parallel and intersecting stories <spoiler> where the stories don't merge into one story </spoiler>. And a bit disconcerting as the stories move back and forth through time to before, during, and after the two main events. But once you relax into it, it's really quite an enjoyable story, excluding the two main events of course; with interesting takes on how people react to their trauma.
I'd be curious to see how the world and people continue.

I don't really have a desire to revisit my teen years so I'm not fond of listening to that age-based anxiety in my books. It's not the majority of the book so I was able to wait through these parts to enjoy the rest of the story.

I read this almost ten years ago, thinking it was about folks working on the Manhattan Project. I remember feeling a bit confused but didn't remember why. Today I understand why.
This book is 2/3rds biography of the author's family, an uncle's science fiction book that was based on top secret work he was involved in, and 1/3rd about the science his uncle, relatives, and their coworkers were creating. Sciences like radar, radiation, microwave, and cyclotrons to name a few.
