Title: Weak
Product review: I found this very dull.The main issues I had were that the plot is weak and the characters are not compelling enough to let you forgive this.We are told how impressive the hero, Charley Castillo, is, but we don't see any evidence.He is supposed to be a Special Forces/ Delta Force major in his mid-30's, in the top 5% of officers but seems to act like an immature 20 year old, with no nous whatsoever.He doesn't seem very tough or bright and demonstates extremely poor judgment (getting drunk repeatedly, including when he knows he is about to enter a very dangerous situation. Not drinking from angst, just stupidity)The plot meanders through various petty bureaucratic encounters, with no excitement until the end. It just had no visceral appeal at all.I guess I was spoiled by shows like "The Unit" in which the characters are impressive, but this left me cold. One would be better off reading "Point of Impact" by Stephen Hunter which has a much better plot and hero.
