Really pathetic to label this book, Scot Harvath #9.5. A couple of token appearances and no significant involvement in the story. The plot was pretty decent: EMP devices being delivered through a Nazi-created portal by a Croat. Send in the clowns ... oops, I mean Charlie's Angels ... oops I mean the Athena Project: highly skilled, military-trained women to use their charm and skills to foil the evil plot. I was dissatisfied with the unidimensional female operatives, mostly because Thor failed to develop them properly as individuals. There was a lot of James Bond type action too: underwater propulsion, sky-diving onto rooftops, etc. ( )

Yeah, this is not for me. The writing is simplistic, geared for an 'adult' with a 7th grade reading comprehension. The characters are rudimentary and interchangeable. The premise is that the female characters are 'just as good, just as tough' as their male counterparts in the superspy business. This seems to be proven by repeating that phrase. Otherwise perfectly fine. ( )

Nice paced espionage thriller. ( )
