I prefer novels, even action-adventure novels, that at least pretend to have some substance. This one has none. It glues together several vastly over-extended action scenes, and hurtles toward... not a climax at all, but a nakedly commercial set up for the next book in the series that leaves the core of the narrative hanging.

Don't get me wrong. The action scenes are good action scenes, solidly written, but there's nothing else there. Reading this book is like watching a movie composed off nothing but several very long car chases. Come to think of it, there are quite a few of those around, so I guess there's an audience for narratives like this.

I appreciate the publisher's courtesy in providing me with the ARC, and I did enjoy the read, but I was simply disappointed that there was so little to the narrative but noise and gunfire. And I was really disappointed with the clumsy ending that turned the whole book into little more than an extended pitch to get us to read the next book in the series.

The author continues his string of successful novels with a well-plotted mystery with authentic settings and characters as well..Just when the protagonist and the reader think they have solved the mysteries, things move in a different direction, and the guessing begins again.

Oh man!! I was looking at that percentage on my Kindle and I just knew!!! A freaking cliffhanger!!! Ugh but a lot a stuff got cleared up! I know I can't wait for the next book! This book had everything!! It had high suspense, intrigue, action packed, big shoot outs, MPG, RPG, grenades, it was definitely like a big action movie!! The who done it is fantastic! The storyline was very interesting and had me glued to my Kindle! I highly recommend reading this book! It was well worth reading! I can't wait for more!! Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!
