Having recently stumbled across the series of books written by Brad Thor, I have to admit they're good. If you are into suspense and espionage, then these books are right up your alley. Thor's book offers the reader a number of twists and turns. Just when you think you've figured out the "who done it", another bit of extraneous information is dropped into your lap. This info changes the direction of the plot and adds another element to the story.
Although this book falls within the same genre as Vince Flynn's series, it doesn't keep you on the edge of your seat like Flynn's books. I give it 4 out of 5 stars.
