Unlikeable main character

The story had potential with Victor's unique abilities, but it was impossible to tolerate Alex. The psychologist (Alex) was self indulgent and apparently incapable of rational behavior. In the penultimate scene he ignored the options he may have used to avoid disaster - and escaped despite himself. For an apparently gifted practitioner, Alex failed to recognize and respond to Victor's deadly abilities, and lacked a plan to resolve the story's plot and his own repeating personal failures. Not a satisfying read...
