A lot of good plots within this story. A little disjointed at times between the chapters. Points of view were a little mixed sometimes. This version of Jarod seemed weak as if he couldn't figure some things out which would have been obvious for a genius of his caliber. This story could have been split into different sequels so different plots would've been concentrated on for more depth. You have a lot of ideas here that seem to be a good springboard for more stories.
