Title: Lacked Focus
Review: The biggest problem I had with this book was there was no protagonist. The book was about too many characters and at the same time was not about them enough. I felt there was a lack of focus brought on by the lack of any character that you could follow and empathize with. The Bretheran were all in jail for good reason and I have difficulty empathizing with criminals.Lake was a one-dimensional character who was little more than a plot device and offered no personality or substance. Teddy was little more than a stereotypical military/spy buerocrat convinced the sky is falling. None of the people in the story had defined characters, they were all merely paper dolls to fill certain roles. I found that made the book lack any feeling or emotion whatsoever.The story is interesting, trying to figure out how the different strings come together and where they will end up, but the utter lack of character development and no central protagonist really made this a poor novel.
