I don't think there were too many characters because each character had a role to play. Though Kelly, Tom, Steven, Cynthia, and two of her female agents were more involved in the story, making it hard for me to recognize Tom and Kelly as the main characters,

Actually the author introduced many more characters. This diverted readers'attention from the two main characters which are Kelly and Tom. However the characters were developed well.

I thought the main characters would be Tom and Kelly, but they seemed to fade into being secondary characters as the story progressed. In fact, I'm not really sure who the main character was because there were too many. I couldn't really attach myself to any one person because there wasn't enough information on any of them.

My favorite character was actually the scientist that saved the world haha! I felt the same, Tom and Kelly were not the main characters at all. I noticed there were too many characters when I couldn't keep track of who was who, so yes, the book had WAY too many characters!

I don’t think so. The characters were just enough. This is an outstanding book from an outstanding author. It was very impressive to see how the author coined out this wonderful book.

As the story progressed the author introduced a few more characters, i would'nt say too many though. And i love the fact that Steve was introduced and he became the center of attraction, for me he made the story more captivating.
