claudetteb 's review for:

American Traitor by Brad Taylor
2.0

This book is like a political science lesson with action sequences. Traitors and para-military operators. Taiwan, China.... the political stuff was interesting, but the plot set-up seemed to take pages and pages of Wikipedia moments! Lots of narrative, not much conversation, and the "team" was such an afterthought - the really were only there to fight. Even Pike and Jennifer were only there to "save the world" without much other than the action sequences to feature them.

Most of the tension was between Taiwan and China, and only because this is a series have we come to "know" the main characters. Everyone in this book, and there is quite a large cast, is one-dimensional and just not very interesting.

Perhaps Brad Taylor should just write political science non-fiction opinion pieces and leave it at that.
