Bad story and good narration..

I've read about 10 or 12 books by Michael Anderle, about The Kurtherian Gambit, but this one was not very good at all. First of all it was only 277 pages long and in such a short book Dick lit 37 cigarettes and he drank constantly, even with his coffee in the morning. And then he'd have sex with someone who doesn't smoke? Yeah, that's just disgusting. If he had a cigarette once in a while that would be different but he smoked to freaking much.

He spent the whole book trying to find a pendent for his client but you never found out why. I think it was just to have all that killing, smoking and drinking.

All sex was fade-to-black and the F-bomb was used 44 times.

As for the narration: Kevin T. Collins is a good narrator but his talent was wasted on this book.
