Can't fathom any novelty in Under the Night, now renamed Receptor. After Dark Fields, you won't find anything new here. The author has serious issues with renaming books. Dark Fields was verbose but conveyed a pleasant sense of novelty, marrying smart drugs with financial markets and complexity management. Verbose but powerful. Under the Night is Dark Fields badly retold. Other character coming to terms with the power of cognitive enhancers. Tiresome to read (again) what he feels at every moment.
