4-star flight-worthy spy novel, easy-read. Better than most I’d say.

I didn’t know there was a first novel, being that I read the synopsis for this and liked it and started reading before I put it on my ‘currently reading’ list on GR and discovered this is book #2… but oh so what. It also works well as a stand-alone believe it or not.

I mean, it’s not full of philosophy and deep mysteries to solve—it’s simple in that sense, but the action and characters read like a good old spy movie, with enough connection to real world events to be intriguing.

A fast adventure, then drop it in the seat pocket for the next easy-adventure seeker on a 6h flight…
