I haven't been a big fan of James Patterson, but I decided to give him another try, only to end up being quite disappointed.
However, if you're a fan of fast-paced paramilitary drama and two-dimensional characters, then this book is for you. I suggest the characters are two dimensional based on the super macho dialogue, and the protagonist, Amy Cornwall, being even more macho than the paramilitary guys that she leads into battle. Perhaps you're not tired of plots about another 9/11-like catastrophe that is being planned, only to be prevented at the last moment by heroic characters who are struggling against superior officers who are not happy with the choices being made in the field. However, I am tired of such plots. Cornwall is the mother of two who is supported by an understanding husband. She suddenly disappears from her family in order to carry out rescue interventions that are essentially too dangerous to imagine. I gave it up at the 30% mark of the book. I had enough.
