Sorry to say one of the most forgettable protagonists I've encountered in a long time (Frank Mallone) holds this thriller back from being decent. Not to mention how poorly a lot of the narrative choices have aged. Ultimately, NOTHING LASTS FOREVER by Roderick Thorp, despite a ton of flaws, is the better DIE HARD novel. Bring on John McClane!
