I found this to be an intriguing read right from the start. After my - slight - initial irritation that the book is completely written in an interview style interspersed with a few diary entries, I enjoyed this particular format. And after all this is "Themis Files" - so why was I surprised?

An interesting and sometimes mysterious cast of characters work together in this military near-future secret science-fiction parallel history with aliens? It's a bit of everything. All those bits come together and make a very interesting, fun read. There are a few nice twists and turns that I do not want to give away.

Once you get used to the way the interviewer operates though the showdown won't be the biggest of surprises though. But sometimes that is exactly what makes a good book, that the reader can anticipate and appreciate a few pages before the showdown what is going to happen?

It's absolutely worth reading if you enjoy the genres I named above.
