(4) 4-6 Patrick follows his daring older brother Coop into an underground (literally) conspiracy involving secret subterranean communities, decades-old radical plots, unsolved murders, and an enigmatic girl in sunglasses. The plot and backstory are solidly conceived but sketchily executed, with characters rather broadly developed and much of the action relegated to expository dialogue. Nevertheless, the terse, punchy writing style sustains tension.
