I found the concept of this very interesting; there is a discovery of giant robotics parts that predate civilization that could create it for thousands of years buried Underground. a team is assembled to find these pieces, put them together and make one of the biggest scientific discoveries of human kind. 

The execution was mostly interesting. it was told via transcripts of recordings, journal, articles, news entries. But this means that they are always talking about the events as happening in the past even if it was just recent. It made some of the events later on a little hard to follow or believe.

It also suffered from not having strong characters, and the characters that were present were not very flushed out with their motivations for doing things. 

I think in particular I did not love reading about one of the female main characters as written because the male author portrays her in a fairly unkind light (promiscuous because of relationship trauma) and does not have a good grip on redeeming qualities other than that she is determined and loyal. 

There’s also a weird subplot towards the end that I’m not gonna get into but I’ll put in the spoilers:

the two main pilots are kidnapped at the end and are taken samples from without their knowledge to potentially create clones from.

it felt… odd and didn’t hit the right way.
