Title: Doesn't even follow its own formula
Review: The story started off OK with the first two short chapters. Then it falls apart. The template is used but isn't filled out. The love interest isn't, the bad guys did it but we don't have a clue how the good guys know that. Getting into the clutches of the bad guys was done by following the script from the (imaginary) Scary Movie series for action fiction. Getting out of the clutches of the bad guys relied entirely on the stupidity of well-trained mercenaries (who could not have been trained to the level of Scoobie Do if they were really that stupid). There were a few interesting tidbits on history and historical paraphenalia, glaciers, old planes but the biology was 70's. A very disappointing read.
