I believe there is an even mix of politics and suspense as well as love and relationships.

For me by the time the cyber war part came about I was already not really caring about the book. But I do find that part more likable as romance is off for me in this one. I wish that romance went in a more suspense action way.

I was very much for the cyber warfare. This is a new kind of warfare that is gaining ground in the world, due to advances in information technology. It looks passive from the outside but it can have much more devastating and disruptive power than conventional warfare.

I'll admit I was more for the cyber war. I thought people's reactions in the love triangle were strange and I couldn't get into it. I really enjoyed when Glenn, Tim, and Garth get Major Skyler away from his men and watch the test drones on the White House lawn

I preferred the cyber war by the end of the book. I was disappointed by the romance since it turned out to be a one-night-stand that sort of up-ended the whole plot somewhat. It didn't go where I had hoped it would. I was hoping for something a little more spy/action with some romance. I did like the nerd squad though!

You are correct. I found it so fascinating that they could wage a war without being near the enemy. At times the romance made me forget how important their mission was. Perhaps if it was a separate story there would be more room to expand on the importance of this contemporary type of warfare.

That part was quite entertaining! Felt like a movie.

When I was younger, I was always drawn to the romance within novels. However, as an adult, it's more difficult for me to relate to most romantic relationships in books, and this was no exception. The cyber warfare was definitely what kept me engaged in this story.

That was my favorite scene as well. Garth and Tim were the most believable characters in the book, IMHO

I was drawn more on the cyber war. I couldn't care less for the love triangle since I never liked the characters enough, except for Glenn.

I was more interested in the cyber part and the political parts of the book. I thought that the introduction of the romance was a little weird and it didn't seem to flow with the book. I am always interested in how accurate science fiction based books are when comparing them against current society. Most of the characters were lacking in their development except for a few that stood out.

As much as the cyberwarfare aspect irks me, I like it way more than the romance so far. The cheating aspect left a terrible impression on me and then I just could not get into it after that.

Cyber warfare is more interesting to me than romance. This is something new. Something that did not occur in previous times. Romance is always just romance.

Same. It was way better than the romantic aspect. The cheating was like the most part that was given attention more than the occuring cyberwar.

Yeah. It felt like a subplot rather than the main part of the novel, so much so that I have to wonder how much research was actually done in comparison to the pregnancy aspect?
