Title: Over the top silliness
Review: OK, everything about this book is over the top and implausable. If you take it on that level you can get through it on the strength of the non-stop action alone. But it's like watching a bad movie that would be funny if the director really meant it to be tongue-in-cheek. Only you get the feeling that Reilly was trying to write a real novel and didn't see it as a farce. That would still be OK if the factual errors weren't so blaring. Many of them are documented below. One of the multitude of errors that struck me was the understanding of temperature. Early in the book Reilly claims that jet engines are known to freeze in mid-air at -30. It makes you wonder how airliners make it around in winter at 35,000' without falling to the ground. But if engines freeze at that temperature, it sure doesn't seem to affect human skin exposed for long stretches on hovercrafts speeding at 80 MPH across the ice fields. Let's see, wind chill of -100 and no mention of frostbite. Hmmmm.
