Title: Ultimately Disappointing
Product review: Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Nelson DeMille. He is my favorite author. But this was a weak effort. The first 100 pages (of 485) slog along at a snail's pace. The action picks up soon thereafter and builds strongly to about 450, but then it treads water for about 30 pages before fizzling out. DeMille states in the acknowledgements that his 24 year-old son helped him with the ending - - and it shows! I found it a giant cop-out and utterly dissatisfying. Now I anxiously wait for DeMille's next novel, due out late this year. I only hope it's the "old" Nelson DeMille who authors it.
