Title: What a cop-out
Product review: The theme of this book interested me, because I was one of the hundreds who witnessed the terrible explosion and may or may not have glimpsed streaks of light. I'm happy with the official explanation, but was prepared to go along with de Mille's proposal that a missile could have been involved, and that various governmental agencies hushed it up. But, if they did -- as the plot theorizes -- WHY? What was the point? I waded through yards of the protagonist's stupid and occasionally amusing wisecracks, kept going with a really rather easily put-down book, just to find out the answer to the mystery. And did I get it? No, I did not. Using a tragedy of the magnitude of 9/11 to cover up the author's inability to come up with a gripping, plausible ending was mildly criminal, in my candid opinion. Well, I certainly felt robbed.
