Review: Disappointing

Predictable storyline. This story really lacks warmth. The verbal exchanges of the characters seem stunted and abrupt throughout the story. The main character is clearly explained but the character development of those around him was not. Two characters that had a traumatic experience being held hostage and then witnessed the killings of their captors was not really even addressed or explored. A young girl lost her grandfather and never even had a nightmare. The horror of the whole situation was just ignored. I would like to have less explanation about the beauty of the terrain and more emotional depth expressed. Unrealistic expectations of the main character of returning to an ex-wife who divorced him....really? I can understand getting to his son but he can hardly communicate with the women he is traveling with. This just seems like a macho man tactical story with little depth.  I really hope the author reads this as he has potential. I read these kinds of books a lot and look forward to a new take on the genre, it's a shame really.
