Still loving the Female James Bond.
Interesting commentary on how to bury a theory by mocking it on the internet! So glad Lara is finding "friends"
New Experiment will be interesting addition in the future books!

Ridiculous concept, executed well
Replacing a world leader with a doppelganger in this day and age, would be impossible, yet forms the very basis of the entire book. If you can get your head around that, the rest is a good, well told story
The gangs all here and this time their own wellbeing is explored far more deeply than previous books. Kayden does something so out of character, it takes up 2 or 3 chapters and the story is all the better for it
The ending comes along quite quickly, but the team get to do their own thing and a new character has made an appearance that is bound to have serious implications in future books

Lara King, on the move with Lady Danger, Lara has no equal! But… she’s learning a lot for CIA to deal with. Is Agent Thomas an asset or a liability?
Constant drama and fast action thriller.
