Although I know this is a "slower" story than Reilly's Area7 and IceStation, I was pleasantly surprised. It is a pageturner for sure and kept me awake long into yesterday night. Since I have read several of his books, I find this novel action packed and entertaining for sure, but it's not one of his best. On the other hand, for being his first novel, I think it's brilliant! I waver between 3 and 4. I give it a strong 3.
