Negative Positive
Title: May have been good as a short story
Review: Most of what is written in this book exists for no apparent reason. The characters are all poorly developed, many are just cliches, so you never really care what happens to any of them. There are countless characters and conflicts that appear, and are never mentioned again. All you really know about the villains is that they are ruthless, cold-blooded killers. You never really have any reason to fear them.The story goes like this... The villains develop a deadly bio-engineered virus. They plan to make a fortune by selling it to other villains. They also use it to infect the head of a multi-national technology firm. He just happens to be a kind, caring man from a working class background. Now his elite, world-wide private security force, known as Sword (what is this, Get Smart?) must track down the villains before their beloved leader, and perhaps the whole world, is doomed. Guess how it ends.
