Negative Positive
Title: Lousy ending, bad psychology, poor premises
Review: Fine example of how popular authors are pushed by publishers to do novels too fast, with poor results.This story expects you to believe that a consumate professional military man/terrorist, who has never made a mistake in his career, allows sentimental attachment to a lost love to fuzz his intellect, producing simple behavior/mistakes which doom him.It expects you to believe that the US Navy is constrained by budget from pursuing conclusions reached by the National Security Advisor, a retired admiral, thereby dooming a more people in a repeated terrorist action.It expects you to believe that the news media will ignore an obvious lead from a reliable witness in the last incident, even when sensational, anti-military and anti-gov. (Actually, they did just this in the Fl800 story, for about 100 witnesses.)The author thinks we are all morons.
Is the review positive or negative?
