Disappointing
Network's previous series had me hanging on every book. His characters were unique and their antics unpredictable. But his latest foray in thriller/espionage/mystery has proven itself unreadable for me. He thinks he's invented his ultimate hero, Jack Whitfield, but his plot has so many holes in it in the first 10%of the book that I lost interest amd , try as I might, can't seem to regain it.
With no clue about who this guy is, or what life is like, his wife is killed, his daughter kidnapped and he blindly follows I instructions attempting to get her back. No remorse for his wife. No thoughts about how is old life is torn to shreds, he's tattooed up, given a new identity and sent off on some sort of mission but not knowing what's real. People are killed, a beautiful woman who may be a Chinese government agent appears, there's suddenly human trafficking and drugs and that was where I had to stop.
Honestly, it seems as though Medford took a bunch of plotlnes, there them in a blender and not start, all before establishing who his protagonist is. I wasn't up for slogging through all the improbabilities. I may be a lone voice among Mefford's readers, but that's what occurred for me.
