Lots of potential, but disappointing

This is an intriguing story, with well-drawn characters. It piques the reader's curiosity, almost making it a page-turner.

The book could use some good editing, however. The story frequently jumps to a new scenario, with only a new paragraph to separate distinctly different events. The break should have been a new chapter or a definitive mark to indicate a change of scene.

There was a lot of unnecessary dialog and detail that did not contribute to the story. I skipped pages at a time and did not miss anything meaningful. Explanations of the obvious were distracting, right down to how an agent's earpieces were wired. Depictions of police shootouts "Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!" is comic book material. Corny and amateurish writing at times.

I almost stuck it out to the end but sorry to say, I gave it up, having tired of the uninspiring writing style..

This is an awesome thriller. I was on the edge of my seat through the entire book. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because I hate when good people die in the story.

Excellent Suspense

The book is very readable and the story most excellent. This is a great page-turner and it will suck you away from your real life if you let it. Highly recommend for suspense junkies.

Knew the outcome

Having come from a family in the medical field, I had the answer fairly early in the book.I still found it to be a very good story. And probably not as far fetched as some may think. Good writing.
