Review title: Abandon Ship!
Product review: Hawke is billed to be a fast paced techno thriller (my favorite type of book), but it has a number of horrible flaws.The first is repetition. Crappy jokes used more than once and facts repeated over and over points to poor editing or a ghost writer working off a limited number of points.The second glaring problem is the main character's back ground. Hawke is in his 30's, yet he already attended Oxford, joined the Royal Navy, passed flight school, flew in combat, joined the SBS, did "a tour" with them, then had countless other adventures.Despite being a child prodigy and a military superman Hawke then becomes confused with terms like HUMINT and a HAHO parachute jump.The final scene of jets firing heat seeking air-to-air missiles pushed me over the edge, forcing a 1 star review.If you're going to write a militaristic techno thriller at least try to get your facts right!
