The beginning and the end of the book are about "Eden" the rest is about trying to get back, I have no doubt a James Bond-type movie was playing in the author's mind as he wrote. If I had realized sooner that I was not going to get back to Eden for a long time, I might have relaxed and enjoyed the action more.
The author had some good lines, "It is a universal fact that any enclosed space which is occupied by more than one male for more than two consecutive days will inevitably begin to smell like a giant dirty gym sock" and "You have four-month old spaghetti in your fridge?" leading to "Have you ever seen pink mold?"
And some bad typos, "through" instead of "threw" as in "He disliked the silencer because it through off his aim..." The worst was "close-lining the intruder." Even I know that "clotheslining" is a wrestling technique.
I loved the parts of the book directly related to the visit to "Eden" and give those 4 stars. Very well done.
The middle adventure gets 2-3 stars. I could have done with less back story on minor characters (such as Russian pilots) that didn't contribute to the overall story. It was just fill that slowed the action.
I loved the ending. I couldn't imagine how Eden could be resolved, but it was perfect.
Overall, a good read. The author has potential.

I knew I was going to like this book before I started because I enjoy adventure stories but I didn't think I would finish the book feeling the same satisfaction I usually feel after a James Rollins book.
Plenty of adventure and more.
