Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This was an exciting and enjoyable read. Although I read it before I read the preceding three novels, I had no trouble following the story, although I would obviously recommend prospective readers to start with the earlier novels first! A US Naval Intelligence officer, Alan Craik, has been wounded on a mission that went very wrong, in a which a fellow officier, George Shreed, was killed. Shreed was supposed to have been captured alive, since he is a suspected traitor. Craik is held responsible for the mission going bad, and has not met with much sympathy from his superiors, in spite of his injuries. Craik is given a chance to redeem himself, and the story takes off from therem with sizeable measures of intrigue and manipulation, both on the behalf of Craik's own side, and that of the Chinese, who were "running" Shreed when he was killed. I very much enjoyed the way that this father-son team of authors dealth with the Chinese in this novel! Oh man, Patrick Robinson could learn a ton and then some from this duo! And unlike Vince Flynn, these two get their airports and airlines right! While the characters are not particularly well developed, the plot is clever, action-packed, and fast paced, and remains exciting to the end. I recommend this novel with three-and-a-half stars.
