3.5
The main reason I am giving this book a 3.5 instead of a 4 is because the majority of the action took place in the last 1/4th of the book. I wish that there was more action in the first 3/4ths. Other than that this was a really good book.
As always Hendrix is great at pissing me off with the assholes he writes in his stories.
