Title: Great potential plot disappointingally developed
Review: The plot is pretty good and there are some great descriptions of the effect that Sarin has on humans (although the same description is repeated several times), but . . . The plot moves way to fast and there is no character development. A realistic plot but weakly written. The research was lacking a little. I live in Salt Lake City, grew up here, and will be involved in emergency operations at the Olympic games and I found a lot of the geography to be incorrect (e.g. the opening ceremonies taking place at the Delta Center instead of Rice Stadium, the ski events at "Snow Mountain" in Cottonwood Canyon instead of at Snow Basin in Ogden, where is Copper County?). I get the impression that the author got the idea for the story and was in a hurry to get the book out before the games, rather than actually writing a good novel. I wish Clancy had written it because the plot had so much potential.
Is the review positive or negative?
