Good as a standalone novel.

This story doesn’t focus on an apocalyptic setting like many of Franklin Horton’s other works. It does center on similar themes of terrorism and unhinged people. Some of the social media and technology are slightly dated (it was written in 2018), but the general idea is still valid. The characters are well-developed, and I swear Victor is a real person. You feel both pity and disgust for him. Other than a few instances where some injuries are not duly sustained as they would be in real life, I enjoyed the plotline and storytelling. It was a good read for Franklin Horton’s only standalone novel.
