Review: Disappointing

First and foremost, Matthew Reilly was once my favorite author. At one time no one else could write action as he did. Even though this book is ok, when you're accustomed to his books such as Contest, Area 7, Ice Station, Temple and Scarecrow,..this was terribly disappointing. Once again, still an ok read but not what you'd expect from Matthew Reilly. Not sure what those other readers are talking about rating this high among Reilly's other novels. I can only hope that M. Reilly wanted a break from his typical hardcore action novels so wrote this. This is more suited for teens.Though a good read I wont bother getting the final in this trilogy. I'm sure it'll be OK but I expect so much more from my Matthew Reilly novels and cant accept this laid back borderline boring style of writing.If you're not familiar with Matthew Reilly and think I'm being a bit harsh PLEASE read any of the other of his novels I listed in this review and you'll better understand my view point. Pick up ice station or contest for starters,...you'll agree that this latest trilogy does not live up to his style.
