Negative Positive
Title: Yawner.
Review: Maybe OK for beach reading, but barely. If you should happen to forget where you stopped reading, no matter if you skipped a few pages -- maybe that's even better! Not like Robert Ludlums earlier works. Has internal inconsistencies, like the hero picking a door lock when a blast of gunfire from an AK47 inside shreds the door, but just "nicks" our hero. After he goes inside to dispatch the baddie (a woman), he leaves the apartment carefully shutting the door behind him. Huh? The plot of this book is one escape from baddies after another. Ultimately the United States is going to be destoyed by a launched Russian nuclear missile until an autistic computer expert saves the day. Yawn. Try reading Alan Furst's spy novels instead. They are really good!
