Title: Who Are They Kidding?
Review: As fiction this book would be a barely passable example of the "blood and babes" school of adventure fiction, subcategory "secret missions." But it claims to be "based in fact." However, the inconsistant story line and the far-fetched plot have very little fact-like about them. For example, it doesn't merely get the US covert ops structure wrong - it ignores it all together in favor of a fantasy version. Now that's OK for fiction. After all, there never was an organization called "UNCLE" (of TV fame) either and that didn't prevent exciting stories. But when the story depends on its credentials as "based in fact" to overcome its other faults, it has to stay someplace within shouting distance of reality.
