3.0
A decent spec-fic thriller. The narration is rapid and choppy which heightens the sense of urgency, but gets repetitive when used to describe scenes. A bit heavy on tropes (smart man motivated by gorgeous wife, tempted by beautiful companion-in-crisis, etc.) but the story moved on fast enough to let things slide. The premise is wild and thought-provoking, making this an entertaining read.
