The picture？

[micpin]

Dan Fesperman's "Unmanned" is a timely novel about aerial drones and their sanitary means of execution. Fesperman implies that these supposedly “surgical” weapons cause a great deal more “collateral damage” — such as the opening scene when a missile is launched at a suspected terrorist gathering that later proves to be a wedding party — than Americans realize, and there is no question that burnout is common among those who operate them.

Readers who view drones as a valuable military asset may be angered by Fesperman’s dark view of their potential; others will be concerned by issues of safety and privacy he raises. Either way, “Unmanned” — a title with several meanings — is an exciting story, expertly told. My only complaint is that novel’s ending may be more optimistic than the available facts justify. We’ll see.
