Reviewing Eidolon by E.S. Yu

Eidolon by E.S. Yu 3*
BLURB: When bioaugmentation giant Cyrex Corp sends Vax to assassinate journalist Zai Lumero, he thinks it’ll be a straightforward job. With his bioaugments, he's never botched a job before. But when Vax unexpectedly fails his assignment, he finds himself on Cyrex's hit list as well.
The last thing Vax wants is to partner with a justice crusader who hates his profession, but he doesn't have a choice. Zai is the only one who can expose Cyrex's secrets and take the company down. And what starts as mutual hostility soon gives way to Vax's grudging admiration for Zai's determination...and possibly something more.
Yet as they race against time to unearth Cyrex’s secrets, it’s also clear to Vax that Zai is hiding something from him. And the closer Vax gets to finding out Zai’s secret, the more he suspects that the truth might destroy him.


My Review: I received a copy in exchange for an honest review. I found the ideas in the book interesting but rather predictable. That's not to say it was bad, it wasn't, but it wasn't exactly great either. What it was was a pleasant sci fi thriller that gave me a few enjoyable hours of escapism.
One other thing, I don't usually comment on covers but I have to say this one really does fit the story well, giving it the thriller and futuristic cityscape feel in one picture.
