Add a CommentNot too many surprises in this typical thriller Homeland Security story. Well written and clearly we will see more stories with the Architect as the key bad man. I found some of the characters confusing in that at times it was not clear who were the good guys. How a general officer in the US could betray the trust of his office, I found a tad far-fetched.
