What a page-turner!!! I am on vacation and wanted a "light" book. Discovered BRAINSTORM and I did not come up for air for two days! Great characters and twists and turns. I am waiting for this to be a series! Ex-CIA operative finds himself searching for a young boy who was adopted by....(don't want to give it up). Enjoy!
This was recommended to me by a friend and although it isn't something I would normally read, I was sucked in by the story and could not put it down. Scandal, bribery, US Government secrets, a little bit of romance are all twisted into the story. This should your next summer read!!
