Oh my. This book was bad. I was going to say really bad, but in the penultimate chapter I actually was engaged by the plot for about 3 pages. It bothers me when publishers deke the reader with a cover that screams ROBERT LUDLUM'S MOSCOW VECTOR then in tiny letters written by patrick larkin. I want to know exactly the extent of Robert Ludlum's involvement in this book project. I bet he didn't read it. If he had he wouldn't have put his name on it. The body count? I lost count. There was no holding back for Robert Ludlum's Patrick Larkin. Every time you turned around somebody was getting executed. Really unnecessary massacres. The dialogue in this book was awkward & not like real conversations between people. Every male character called every female character "Ms." The Russian bad guys called the female CIA agents "Ms" Whatever. At one point even another woman called a female agent "Ms." Um, we don't talk like that in real life. The use of cliches was rampant. Whew. No original writing here. Also the writer used weird phrasing like he'd run out of ways to say "he said." At one point the dialogue went something like this: "'The drone missile has missed its target & hit civilians,' he said seriously." Isn't the fact he said it "seriously" implied? The author (who was the author?) seemed to be intent on sharing his knowledge (or recently-acquired research) about firearms & ammunition. Detailed descriptions of every weapon & its magazine, clip, bullet, or whatever other name you want to use for it was supplied in almost every chapter. And speaking of chapters: When is a lot too many? There were at least 50 chapters in this book. I was more engaged by the old Nancy Drew books written by the old syndicates. They stuck to a 20-or-so chapter maximum (you always knew whodunit by Chapter XX). The reader of this book had an annoying habit of making (US) President Sam Castilla sound just like George W. Bush. I was waiting for him to say, "That dog don't hunt" or "Big hat, no cattle." He came close. That was really irksome, having to be reminded of W, just when I was trying so hard to forget him (along with the rest of the country). The main reason why I disliked this book was because it was boring. Also, I love John le Carre & this book wasn't fit to act as a bookend to his spy novels.

Another in the series begun with the Hades compact. It is very enjoyable to be able to mark the evolution of Dr. Jon Smith from staid doctor into senior field agent as you progress in this series.

I liked this book because of two reasons. It had a lot of action. That's why I started reading this series in the first place. It also had several interesting twists that really kept me guessing.

This is quite an ordinary novel, that is what I felt. There is not much suspense in the thriller. Good book for a travel when you want to kill the time

A good book, and another Covert One novel. These are some of the best books I've read and I hope to read more soon!

A good book but not a great writing I would say. One thing I liked about the book is that story flows in a good pace through out the novel unlike some classics which literally crawls in the beginning chapters. This was a quite predictable one story with out any turning points and I don't think it will leave any permanent impressions about the story or characters which you will remember after couple of months. I would say its a good novel to spend some boring time.
