This book didn't stick the landing for me. The beginning was gripping, and interesting, throwing out cool ideas and a deep conspiracy... but the second half devolved into a lot of thriller plotting, i.e. the phone rings when they walk in the door, it's their friend, when they go to leave, they're being followed, as they escape they find a helpful stranger! etc. Throw in a few teleportations and time cuts and not enough character development and here we are. I enjoyed my time with Rabbits and I'll be checking out the podcast.
