dstucke's review against another edition

Just getting started.. Garbriel is finally married but once again asked to do his part for God and Country. Should be interesting. All of the others have been.
Finished now and have to say that while it was an interesting read, it was not one of Silva's better books. Still worth reading though.

Fully satisfactory (indeed, darn close to perfect) airport, airplane, and hotel reading...
I definitely wouldn't start with this one .... In comparison to the others I've read, I found this installment was on the high end of the scale in terms of momentum and sustained page turning, but not necessarily one of my favorites in terms of character development (including the (now familiar) protagonist, the newly introduced antagonist, and/or the supporting casts for both) or my interest in the underlying scenario, situation, or plot. I fear (or sense or, at very least, guess) that the reason the installment was weighted this way (seemed like it flew by even if the story arc wasn't fully developed) is that it's part of a series within the series or, in other words, the sub-plot hasn't played itself out yet.
Silva increasingly has claimed the preeminent spot among authors I turn to when I know I'm going to be trapped in a long steel tube (yup, an airplane) for a long time. So I plan to keep working my way through the series.

I didn’t like this one as much as the others. It was a bit too predictable and the plot dragged.

A good read but it seemed to wrap up quicker than most of the previous novels. There were LOTS of formatting errors in the Kindle edition I read.
