A review by reclusive_rainbow
The Hades Factor by Gayle Lynds, Robert Ludlum

2.0

Book Synopsis:

Read the book Summary from it's GoodReads Library entry.
I had previously read another book in this series; so was looking forward to seeing how the story/series began. I was disappointed.

The story itself was OK, but the whole "Covert-One" aspect was literally first touched in the Epilogue. It felt like a marketing gimmick added to an existing novel.

Plus I felt that this author had a very poor sense of time (small scale gun battles taking 5+ minutes, running a hundred yards measured in minutes, etc); & tactics (rapidly moving from side to side while firing to simulate two people, in broad daylight ... right).

I'll try another book in this series; however I will likely avoid this author in the future. (Gayle Lynds, not Robert Ludlum)
