This story was okay. The connection to the early Air Force and some of its internal agencies is clear. The story is basically a thriller, although I can’t say that it kept me enthralled and ready to turn every page. But the real challenge with the book was the lack of editing. The poor editing pulled me out of the story repeatedly. These issues included missing quotation marks, misspellings, and bad line breaks, sometimes in the middle of a word.
This was a great read. Great story and nicely incorporated some historic facts. I am looking forward to reading his three other books now. He has a great writing style.
