A good sequel to Golem though it did drag on for a good part of the book. The conspiracy is becoming Hydra-like, you don't know who is working for whom and who wants Drake dead though every other persons seem intent on annihilating him.
I did like to read about Drake's development and how he is becoming less and less... bioroid, if that's possible.
There are a lot of things left in the air at the end of the novel, a plethora of fingers in just as many pies. Hopefully, the last novel will untangle this quagmire Drake seems to constantly find himself in.

Over the years I've learnt that tie-in novels generally can't be judged following normal rules. There's always an element of "product placement" that interferes with the narrative.
That said Mimic (and the Identity trilogy as a whole) is a decently-paced, action-packed read that adds some nice background flavour to the Android universe. It is very much the middle book of the series though, so plotlines are developed but never fully resolved. I think it's safe to assume that all will be revealed in the finale.
The weakest point of the book is the characterisation. Many characters feel like bit-players in a TV episode. But that's OK because this is Drake's story and he is well done.
Overall a better-than-average tie-in novel but not earth-shatteringly good.
