Title: Yawn!
Review: I've read most of Finder's novels and enjoyed the majority of them. I got this title in audiobook form - unfortunately it's an abridgement and a bad one to boot. There are sudden radical changes of venues that catch the listener off guard and can at times make it confusing to follow the plot. The plot itself, dealing with corruption within the CIA, rogue ex-intelligentia, the entire stolen Russian gold reserve and mind-reading induced by a powerful MRI is, as opposed to other works by Finder, is completely implausible. The narrator was lack-luster in his breathing,sense of punctuation and voice characterizations making it even harder to stay with this mediocre work. I'd skip this one.
