The description/summary of this book actually gave away a lot of what was going to happen, which is always disappointing. This book also required some pretty heavy suspension of disbelief, and I'm not talking about the whole eating eyeballs thing. For example, OF COURSE Dr. Kaine has his own hazmat suit, let's just gloss over why that would be true! I'd liken it to a big-budget action movie, like one of the Mission Impossible films where just every single possible obstacle occurs, and every single time the protagonist just happens to have the perfect gadget/perfect plan/unlimited money to overcome it.

So why four stars? Because I could not put this book down. Completely engrossing. ( )
