Intel

Good introduction to an interesting world and characters

I really enjoyed this book! I went into it without having read the novel Waypoint, so I was a blank slate regarding my expectations. I liked Quinn and how her relationship with her mother changed throughout the book. I also liked the friends she made along the way and how she put away differences in order to figure out the mystery of the missing scientists. Despite the short length, there was plenty of character development.

The world in Intel is similar enough to ours but with the classic telltale sign of years in the future: automatic driving cars, data-pads, etc. It was a believable future and thus caused me to want to learn more about it.

The ending of the book seemed to cut short suddenly and I was somewhat surprised that it was over. However, it makes sense; this is a prequel and does its job of whetting my appetite for more.
