I will say I did enjoy all the nonfiction bits. Maybe I would have liked this better as a nonfiction book. The part that I liked best was the Writer's Note at the back of the book. That was fascinating and as a author I learned a lot about combining fact and fiction in a novel. You know what Steve Berry really likes? He likes single-sentence paragraphs. Or sometimes even shorter. Two words. I have a feeling he could have cut thirty pages out of the book just by using fewer paragraphs. The story, though, is mostly just a series of thriller cliches. A torture scene and an arbitrary murder scene to show what an awful person the bad guy is, two heroes fighting over a girl, helicopter chases, etc. I give it a slightly higher rating than I would have otherwise because of all the careful historical research that was done; but even so I think the scenic detail suffered as the author hurried along to get us to the next fight. Historical thrillers. There are better ones out there. Find them. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

It’s a good book, it never gets boring. The only thing I didn’t like was the ending when
