This was a much harder/darker science fiction book than my normal fare. I tend to read a lot of Star Wars/Star Trek with random stuff mixed in.

Always wanting more, I read this one on a recommendation from a friend.

I'll say up front, this is a great book. It's well written, kept me riveted, and had me wanting to finish including late night sessions, and finally just sitting down and finishing it.

However the topic is pretty dark. What happens when civilization thinks the world is ending? How do they behave when children start evolving ahead of them? Lots of topics like that are explored, and for once the ending is not all wrapped up and pretty, it's actually quite dark.

There are two more in the series and I will probably read them, but I need to go find some popcorn book to clear my head because this one was one of those deep thinking/dystopic with a dash of hope tossed in depending on how you view the subject.

Lots of human darkness explored as well with the sci-fi story as the backdrop.
