had a natural finish 2/3 rds of the way through. seems as though the author knew it was too short to finish there so an implausible storyline was dreamnt up from there. entertaining even so
Good solid entertainment. Falconer adds several plot twists and turns to keep the reader engaged and the characters are a fun mix. Some high adrenaline action and a few touches of humor.
From the Black Sea to the North Sea and back to Russia our hero is involved in a roller coaster ride of a story. As always there's loads of blood and bullets. I couldn't put this one down.
This is book 6 in the Stratton series and th is time we have a group of mercenaries taking over an oil rig in the North Sea. They demand 2 billion within 24 hours or the bodies will start dropping. This is a secondary demand what they really want comes later and the only one who an help is Stratton but he must go in with a group of untrained scientists.
Enjoyed the feasibility of the action, the pace and the ability of the characters, physically and intellectually. The story is ambitious insofar the manipulation involved. Predictable but no less entertaining.
