This book is about some terrorists that obtain two nuclear bombs from the Russian arsenal and then bring them to the United States to dismantle and use in their own "special weapon." His words, not mine; but that phrase kept making me thing of a bad romance novel instead of a spy/thriller. In a sort of unrelated story line, a guy from the second novel also tries to kill Wells, but instead shoots his GF, Exley. And, Wells, being the completely one-dimensional character that he is, can only think about revenge.
Here's the first problem. These characters are so flat! Wells has zero personality and all he wants to do is kill kill kill. That makes for a very fast read, but not necessarily for a good story. Also, Wells doesn't do anything that the CIA tells him to do. He goes rogue a lot, which lends an unrealistic element to this novel. Sure, he's a national hero from Book #1, but does he really lack all common sense? Apparently so.
