Title: Mediocre writing
Product review: I'm a huge fan of Stephen Hunter and James Garber was recommended to me as an author who is a close second to Mr. Hunter--WRONG. This book has an extremely linear plot, ridiculously one-dimensional characters, and absurd stilted dialog. I couldn't believe how silly some of the characters sounded. Scott Thatcher talks like a cartoon character. David's wife is a horror that makes you wonder what he was thinking to hook up with her in the first place. Ransome is supposed to be an intimidating villain but is just predictable and boring. There are no surprises in the plot. This is the second book I've read by Mr. Garber--there won't be a third.
