Review of 'The revisionists' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

One of the more enjoyable novels I've read in a while. Great blend of espionage, sci-fi, & thriller conventions, along with a clever premise that keeps you guessing how it will end up. I particularly liked the unusually deep characterizations - Mullen spends a lot more time with his characters' internal struggles, and the book is better for it.

You'll think you know where the book is headed, and Mullen avoids taking the obvious paths on a number of occasions. He leaves several threads unresolved - which I think was deliberate (won't give anything away, it just fits with where he ultimately resolves the main conflict).

Really liked this. Eager to read more of Mullen's books.
