I really enjoyed The One. I read The Passengers last year, and just like that one, Marrs sucked me in real quick. Despite the many POVs, it didn't take long for me to get oriented. If I have any complaint it's that a few of the characters felt a bit overwritten with repeated statements about their motivation, goals, etc. And I found I wanted just a little more out of the ending, but overall, I highly recommend The One if you're looking for a character focused sci-fi thriller
