Title: oh pleeze!
Review: This is the most shallow, one dimensional, tedious, skimmable book I have the SHAME to admit I read. Boring! The idea is not original. It mimics aspects of the NUMA and Dirk Pitt series and feebly attempts Tom Clancey technology dicourses. It is fanciful to have a dashing type pirate descendant doing the "derring do" stuff,the plot is too predicatable and the characters so cliche. The reviewers listed on the book jacket include Clive Cussler and Nelson DeMille who I guess must be drinking buddies of Mr. Bell because they certainly didn't help him with his fiction writing! I wonder how the author was fortunate enough to get it published in hardback. And did the publisher assign an editor??? My copy of this book will end up added to the give away pile.
Is the review positive or negative?
