The details are rich but it drags from time to time. It would have been better to spend a little less time proving the brutality of war and represive governments.

Lee Child has started to make his plots more complex. He places Reacher in a different environment than we have seen him before. He has to figure out more angles than in the past. And as always, Reacher comes across as a big guy who thinks fast.

This book has taken a fair amount of facts and woven a tale of what can happen. The micro copters exist. Swarming is being worked. Insect cultures are understood. And all of this technology is coming together with Moore's law. This book should help trigger the debate on how robots are used and under what conditions, they are made autonomus! read this book and get others to read it...this is closer to today than you think.

Davenport continues to expand his story and the side characters keep rolling in. You gotta love Letty....a chip off the old block

The writer does a good job making this subject very intresting instead of dry. You cannot help but root for the first year member of the firm. You also will have no trouble wishing the rest of the firm ill. That said, this a good explination in how investment bankers make their money at the expense of everyone else.
