Adam Sternbergh

Une idée très intéressante, des personnages très bien menés. Mais une violence de trop sur la fin (et un quatrième de couverture ayant un rapport relatif à la réalité du contenu).

Impressively imagined and rendered. In an all too believable future version of NYC, an assassin becomes entangled in the lives of an evangelist, who has a scheme to create heaven on earth, and his runaway daughter. The story is so compelling that it is only on reflection, after finishing it, that the plot weaknesses appear and you begin to ask questions about the ultimate motivations of the characters.

The Eden Test by Adam Sternbergh is a thrilling and surprising page turner. I loved the way he weaved the mystery from the beginning to end.

This book starts slow and I wondered if it was worth continuing when it was still slow 1/3 of the way in. Stick with it. The story all comes together and is quite inventive. It isn’t 5 stars because the ending was wrapped up to quickly.
