A novella in the Conrad Yeats adventure series. Fast-paced adventure. Entertaining.

[***Dave Hill · Rating 1 out of 5]

Even as a dedicated Ingress player, I could stomach about one chapter of shoddy Mercenary Adventurer's Club dialog that managed in that sort time to drag out every annoying topical cliche in the book. I'm usually leery of adapted game properties, but folks were raging lyrical over this book, so I had to give it a try. Instead, I just raged. Life's too short. Not my cuppa.

Pretty good

A pretty good side story for the Ingress game, although the Google product placements got a little tedious. Definitely a good read though.

I liked the other Conrad Yeats books a bit more than this one, but the way it ended intrigued me enough to want to read more about the Alignment series. Greanias does a good job of explaining the biblical references and the scientific elements, but there just seemed to be a little bit missing for me. I'm not exactly sure what it was. It just seemed there was way too much going on at once during some scenes and it made me lost, so I had to re-read it. I usually don't like this because it slows down the reading and makes it a little less enjoyable for me. Otherwise, this would've been rated much higher.

This book is just guilty pleasure relating to the Ingress app game for android. I liked it because I play, but I would never recommend this book on its own merits. Odd pacing leading up to some genuinely exciting parts, interspersed with product placement, which I giggled at every time. Product placement in a book. Too weird.

Fairly good read. There's quite a few missing bits and pieces, if you were not familiar with Thomas Greenias' previous work, but overall quite a good addition to the Ingress mythology if you're a player. Otherwise you might find yourself a little lost.

I usually love reading this author's books, but for some reason I just couldn't get into this one. I read a quarter of the book before I put it down. I love to read, but when I have to force myself to do so, I change books. I'll catch his next book!

I'm way into the game, but the fiction is still just ok. I may or may not read subsequent installments.

[Lukas Kock · Rating 3 out of 5]

Mildly entertaining with some rather lame product placement (Nexus 10 tablet etc).

[Steve]

It's not ingress enough. I get where they were going but it wasn't a great read.

[Jayson Hoogeveen · Rating 4 out of 5]

Nice little novella for ingress players.

[David Kerschner · Rating 2 out of 5]

very light reading. in need of some serious editing. Give it a miss unless, like me, you're seriously obsessed with Ingress.

[Roy · Rating 3 out of 5]

The book features a rather short story with little depth and is obviously written on request. Should still be of some interest to anyone playing the Google Ingress game.

[Rob · Rating 2 out of 5]

A quick read, shallow and fast. Too many ads for Google products, but it's based on a google product, so what can you expect.

[James · Rating 3 out of 5]

Moderately entertaining though pretty cheesy and contrived. Plenty of background to introduce new players to the augmented reality game of Ingress.

[Roger Booth · Rating 3 out of 5]

Part of the viral marketing campaign for Google's viral marketing game.

[Nathan Wilkinson · Rating 2 out of 5]

it wasn't what i thought it would be. it was really hard to finish,but i did.

[Ken · Rating 1 out of 5]

It was a waste of time. I read the whole thing because it was short. Oh well.
