I don't why this book got such hich marks for action...other than the raid on the torture house in Africa in the beginning of the book, I found it completely BORING!The book jumps around from character, to character a lot, to the point where don't know what is going on, and other than the obvious bad guy in this poorly thought out book, there is more anomosity between people in our own military, that the careers, or ruination, there of, the people in this book seemed to be the major focus of this book.Definitely my first, and last of this author for me! It seems like this these authors are trying to become another Tom Clancy duet, and the result is sheer boredom!!!
