If you're a fan of James Bond and Dirk Pitt, you'll really like this book. The hero is sort of an amalgam of Bond and Pitt and Indiana Jones and several others. And he survives more "certain death" situations in one book that all the rest combined. Yes, some of it (ok, a lot of it) is totally illogical. But if you can suspend about 95% of your disbelief, it's quite a fun read.Those readers looking for a well-researched techno-thriller based on fact should pass on this one. They'll just be annoyed by all the impossible escapes and situations.So, if it's so illogical and unreal, why did I give it four stars?? Because I read it when I was home with a miserable flu. And for a few hours, this book made me completely forget about how bad I felt. Any book that can do that deserves four stars.
