Review of 'Kill Decision' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

"A covert military operation with a wiki."

This is ultra-modern, sleek, and extremely intriguing. The technology is outstanding, the automated sniper stations rather impressed me, and the whole theory of behavioral swarming models influencing technological combat was really quite interesting.

21 was my favourite chapter, where the team have their first big run-in with a swarm, and although the ending was very predictable, the action was nevertheless very well done.
