the story and the plot

I thought the narrator was near near. there was no infliction in his telling of the story. everything was on the same slow level. he could not have sounded less bored.

Overall a good read

The first 2/3rds of the book I found to have too much technical military language. The last part had more suspense and intrigue which is usually found in this author’s books. Over all still a good read.

A thriller. But unrealistic

It was suspenseful the entire time but parts of the story were incredulous. Particularly the ending. This series featured an attempted coup and then an unhinged commander and the consequences were pretty much “and then nothing happened and it all went away magically”. I think a more plausible ending would be dozens of people sacked and prosecuted. Or keeping in line with spy fiction- found unalived

If you like Tom Clancy skip this book.

The plot is implausible, characters insipid . nearly 14 hours of mediocrity. I could go on, but what's the point.
