This is a very good read and as usual Kent delivers action and adventure and great locales! I have to say that this one started slowly for me, however, and I believe it's because it took me a while to related to the new characters he introduces. But as he says himself this is a transitional book, both for him and Unit 1 as well as for the readers. And while it took me a bit to acclimate to Manny and Britt, by the time I got into it, it was rolling along as all of his do - at a fast pace that makes it difficult to put down. I look forward to seeing how Unit 1 develops from here and eagerly await the new look and the next adventure. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)
When the CIA learns that the Panchen Lama, abducted as a boy by Chinese agents, is still living and wishes to be freed from Chinese captivity, Unit One agent Britt Haugen is assigned to locate and liberate the Tibetan holy man. With a small covert team, she enters tightly controlled Tibet, only to discover that the rescue operation is not what it seems. She and her team may be the hunted. "Straits of the Between" masterfully weaves together the mythical world of monks, monasteries, and mystery that is Tibetan Buddhism with an exhilarating chase across the top of the world as Britt and agent Manny Beg attempt to locate and rescue the man who should play a pivotal role in selecting the next Dalai Lama. In true Allen Kent fashion, "Straits" informs, thrills, puzzles, and entices, adding an element of outrage as we learn about Chinese efforts to supplant the true Panchen Lama and tighten Chinese control on this remote mountain kingdom. A classic international thriller in the vein of Kent's popular "The Wager," and "The Shield of Darius." Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
