The story was very compelling. Action right from the get to. Josh Avery was a likeable character. Just the ending was a little wishy washy since we don't ever know if they get to expose The Ranch.

A decent monster-adventure story gets bogged down in helicopter chatter that reads like the author is trying to impress us with his Huey knowledge.

I hated to give a 1 star rating to this book, but the graphic, gory scenes of animal suffering and torture by scientists in the first few chapters made me lose complete interest in the book and I did not finish it.
