If I come across Book Two, I'd probably give it a go. I had no issues with the writing style. My criteria for "3 Stars" : enjoyable, minimal grammatical errors, decent characters and action. A vacation book. This rating should be neutral, not critical. If you enjoy conspiracy theory, young-adult sci-fi, and/or a quick adventure, then Undisclosed will satisfy your needs. It is a fairly straight, predictable read surround a young kid plagued with honor and intelligence and the need to rebel against authority. So, a fairly typical teen. The setting - Los Alamos, "a small town already shrouded in secrecy." So yeah, expect some government cover-ups out of the gate. Toss in a bit of genetic manipulation, shadow groups, and the desire to rule over humanity, and you get the gist of this tale. Although I found this book completely predictable, there were some fun moments. The characters definitely have some back-story to flesh out and there is more to the story. Which is good, since this is Book One of ?. Mills does conclude the story, so there is a full intro, conflict, and climax. It just leaves off where the story will continue.
3 of 5 stars. From the Publisher:
Legends -- myths and religions -- called them by many names. One group was our protector, the other an enemy. Both knew the secret of human origins. Both had different agendas. Both remained undisclosed until now.
Living in Los Alamos, New Mexico, a small town already shrouded in secrecy, disappearances and the unusual, Travis Marshall's life spirals out of control after a sudden and horrendous tragedy.
One year later, when tragedy strikes again and this time his father, a molecular biologist at the illustrious Los Alamos Laboratories mysteriously vanishes and his own life is put in jeopardy, Travis discovers more than the truth behind his disappearance.
In a race against time and aided by an unusual band of outsiders, he finds himself thrust into a dangerous game of cat and mouse in which the outcome could change everything. Beneath a blanket of ancient lies, global cover-ups and genetic tampering he's about to uncover not only the origins of mankind, but also come face to face with those who threaten the fate of the human race.
The answers to the greatest questions of all time have never been as terrifying, exciting or troubling.
