Title: If a protagonist has no way out
Product review: I always looked forward to the next novel of Preston & Child, but this one was dissapointing. The mysteries are to obvious except for the motivation of the evil genius. Furthermore integration of a bored wealthy bonvivant, an illegal weapon deal, James Bond like production plants, intrusions in deserted factories and ancient italian nobility is simply too much; even for Preston and Child. Up till now i liked the twisting of technological fiction, reality, crime and some elements of horror as a good read. But this is overdone and sometimes even "unwanted" funny. I think it is always a problem to create a hyper-super hero like Pendergast, because he has no way to develop. Consequently the setting must become more and more absurd and unbelievable.
