Goodreads Review, Review by Andrew
The story opens up with potential. Reminiscent of some Michael Crichton. Ending was hurried. What a few hundred pages to build up, ended in a few. I think Gordon probably started working on a new television show during the writing of this novel and had to end it quick. At one point, Gideon thin...

Goodreads Review, Review by Heather
Overall this was a decent read, but it is very apparent that Mr. Gordon has experience as a TV script writer. Some of the scenes in the book read more like screen direction than novel excerpts. And the romance toward the end between Gideon and Kate - it felt way too forced, like it was inserted as...

Goodreads Review, Review by Rjames1999
I really wanted to love this book based on my affinity for "24" and the rave reviews from a few favorite authors. The first half I was thinking the book should have been called "Gideon's Luck" after way too many strokes of fortune for the main character. The last half started t...
