This international thriller started off with a bang, but around 250 pages in, I stopped reading because the plot and the storytelling had serious plausibility problems. For instance, I don't believe even for the sake of enjoying the book as escape that the United States would be a hair trigger away from waging war the way the book has it.
Taylor uses the pandemic as a plot factor in a few spots, but the rest of the time it's as if life in Europe and the Middle East was pre-pandemic, which doesn't make sense.
In the Afterword, the author has the poor grace to complain about how much harder pandemic restrictions made it for him to write this book.
The book is poorly edited, with some significant typos and several passages I had to read two or three times to try to understand which character or entity pronouns referred to.
In short, skip this one.
