From Publishers Weekly

This thought-provoking near-future thriller from bestseller Bear (Dead Lines) focuses on two young FBI agents: William Griffin, the son of a legendary FBI lawman, struggles through training; Fouad Al-Husam, who expects suspicion for his heritage and Muslim faith, finds himself instead sent on super-secret missions to the Middle East. Playing a minor supporting role is their Quantico classmate, Jane Rowland. When a quiet man with mismatched eyes starts telling certain fanatics that he can make gene-keyed anthrax to destroy their hereditary enemies, Griffin and Al-Husam form an unlikely team, headed by veteran agent Rebecca Rose, to handle the threat. Bear's near-future science is, as always, eerily plausible, and while he doesn't stint on sharp criticism of political infighting and its potential to hinder antiterrorism efforts, his would-be terrorists become surprisingly sympathetic as the complex details of their true plan are slowly (sometimes too slowly) revealed.

From Booklist

Veteran science-fiction author Bear proves here that he is as comfortable in the near future as he is centuries or millennia down the road. Just a handful of years from today, global terrorism has escalated out of control. In Jerusalem, a sacred religious site is destroyed. Another attack on U.S. soil has taken the lives of thousands. New killing technologies are being developed in secret labs around the world. America is losing the war on terror. Enter three young FBI agents, raw recruits whose hunt for an American terrorist could either save the world or destroy it. This chillingly plausible story displays Bear's storytelling gifts to their fullest: his ability to extrapolate from current technologies and political trends; his knack for creating flesh-and-bone characters; his capacity for keeping us on the edges of our seats. His legion of fans will be lining up for this one, and the novel's cross-genre appeal should guarantee it an even wider readership than usual. David Pitt

4.0étoiles sur 5 Not his usual sci-fi, but entertaining none the less, Mars 24 2009
I won't even attempt to write a full review, as I would likely give away more of the book than I should. For Greg Bear fans, this one is a bit of a switch up after many sci-fi novels, short stories, and such. If you are looking for more Queen of Angels, then you are lost (although it is reported that the author is writing a book that bridges the HUGE gap from this book to QoA).

On the plus side: Bear's phenomenal characters. Not just good characters, but people filled with motivations, restrictions, false ideas, and all sorts of foibles that make his characters interesting. Another strong woman character too in this book, keeping with tradition. Also on the plus side is a story that is close enough to today to be more than a little scary, with just enough science to make us all happy.

On the negative side: Without giving anything away, it is a little tough to lose characters midway through a book. The ending is a little bit hollywood, the book actually reads like it could very easily be turned into an action movie, and the ending has got that frantic pace that really makes it a page turner, but the absolute ending is the part I didn't enjoy as much. Perhaps a little too much application of the sci-fi that was missing for the rest of the book?

Important note: The paperback version has an extra chapter (I think it goes around chapter 6). Read in line with the story, the book makes much more sense. Shame on the editors for taking it out originally.

overall, not Greg Bear's finest ever, but better than average and certainly worth your time.
