Title: Code: Lambda

I swear to God I almost wrote a whole paragraph about how silly it is to use Lambada as a code because it will only want to make people dance. Then I noticed that it's actually the Greek letter lambda and hung my head in shame.

Only suggestion. Since you have three codes and possibly three books named after them, wouldn't it sound better as The Lambda Code? And no, it doesn't sound like a DaVinci code rip off.

Cover: it's a nice cover. Not spectacular but it works for sci fi. I only have a problem with it because I'm a fan of humans on covers, so I'm not overly impressed.

I'm also not a fan of sci fi, so the cover doesn't really pull me in.

Summary: now the summary is good. Just the right amount of context and character introduction. I actually really enjoyed it, even if it's on the long side and it does make me want to check out the book. Good job. 

Story: 

Your writing is mostly solid, but you do have places where your wording is awkward (for example I made extra care instead of took extra care) and have echoes in your writing.

I also don't see why you wouldn't name your characters in the prologue. It feels a little unnatural, especially because you're presenting a close third POV.

Another thing that bothered me was the guy's second thoughts when they we're being attacked. That wasn't the right moment to wonder if it would work or not. It killed The tension of your scene.

Once we get into the story, the plot is interesting. Accel  and Decel are interesting characters and it was actually nice to see that they're both not perfect and overtrained. It makes things more exciting. I enjoyed the simulation and conflict and especially the bit of sibling rivalry we got to see there.

Overall: I feel like your writing style has improved. Chapter 1 read very well and the grammar is much better. Best of luck.

Score: 8/10
