review 1: It has been a while since I read Quantico and I was wondering how much confusion that may cause upon starting to read Mariposa. No worries here as this one could actually be read as a stand alone novel. The story on this one is basically about a bad guy threatening the very fabric of the U.S being hunted by an outdated and almost closed down Bureau. With a lot of characters and a bunch of new fancy gadgets this one almost gets away from the reader at points. However overall not that bad of a book.
review 2: I had high hopes for this, as Bear's "Darwin's Radio" is one of the best pieces of modern speculative near-future science fiction I have ever read. The premise for Mariposa is equally promising, but the execution just doesn't live up to that promise. It's wr... moreitten in an unnecessarily convoluted, jumpy, style. I never really felt any particular attachment to the characters (when I could even figure out who was who), and I abandoned it after two attempts. less
