3.5 Satisfying conclusion to the Mortalis trilogy combines the heroes from the first two books for a globe-spanning spy adventure. A bit talky overall and probably has the least amount of action, but the story is good and the characters are solid and well-represented. Combines Nazi war criminals, secret underground orders of priest assassins, and ex-Mossad superspies. A proper dad thriller with smart spycraft and meaty shoot-outs. But I found the bulk of the third act to be on the tedious side as a lot of time is spent with the characters learning what information they do and do not know. Better than the second book, at least not overly prone to Christian sentimentalizing, but not as good as the first.
The third book of the Mortalis trilogy was not as interesting as the first two. Even so, the trilogy taken as a whole was genre defining. David Morrell is kind of like the Beatles...he influenced everything in the thriller world.

Decent mystery
I didn't look at the publication date before I bought this so it was a little disconcerting to read a n "older" story a la early Jack Reacher. The story was interesting if pretty unbelievable. Not enough to make me continue reading the series but not a waste of time either.
