I recently finished Time Siege -- the second book in Wesley Chu's Time Salvager series -- and enjoyed it a lot. Even more than the first. It's gone in a slightly different direction than I assumed things were headed, but that's not a criticism; I'm delighted with the unexpected shift.
I also finished Sylvain Neuvel's Sleeping Giants. It was pleasantly OK, but that's about it. The premise was very interesting, but the epistolary format the author employed wore thin and grated on my nerves at times. It was fun here and there, but I don't think I'll continue with any subsequent installments if the same technique is used. It's a bit too "gimmicky" for my tastes.
