Kill Decision

Daniel Suarez

This shocking techno-thriller is a terrifying, breathtaking, and all-too-plausible vision of the world's near future when unmanned weaponized drones sent by a faceless enemy begin to attack the American homeland.

Action-packed, full of high tech battlefield porn and the plot is fast-paced if only a tad exaggerated. Some parts are a little corny to me but the rest was thrilling

** spoiler alert **
           A very exciting and challenging first half of a book. That reads like Daemon: ideas coming thick and fast, plot twisting unpredictably. Good exploration of drones.

Then Kill Decision settles into a traditional thriller. The cast of characters remains intact. A clear plot movement appears, and never wavers. It could be a Hollywood action movie.

The finale let me down. Yes, it was nice not to see the source of the villainy... but the posthuman theme was barely developed (if it was inhuman), and the idea of a super-secret conspiracy not made credible enough. The PR subplot didn't go anywhere.

The idea of drones as the next stage of war is better, and gets a good, basic treatment.

Very disappointing to this big fan of Daemon and Freedom.

A scientist and a soldier must join forces when combat drones zero in on targets on American soil in this gripping technological thriller from New York Times bestselling author Daniel Suarez. Linda McKinney studies the social behavior of insects—which leaves her entirely unprepared for the day her research is conscripted to help run an unmanned and automated drone army. Odin is the secretive Special Ops soldier with a unique insight into a faceless enemy who has begun to attack the American homeland with drones programmed to seek, identify, and execute targets without human intervention. Together, McKinney and Odin must slow this advance long enough for the world to recognize its destructive power. But as enigmatic forces press the advantage, and death rains down from above, it may already be too late to save mankind from destruction.
