Review: Intriguing plot and interesting characters
Rating: 4 out of 5

Got this as a free download and will be looking for another by this author, hoping for a series.Intriguing storyline which deals with the U.S. government going to the private contractors for their terrorist/security needs. Characters were interesting with a refreshing minimum of stereotyping and a number of interesting but not distracting personal scenes.My only criticism of the book comes down to it being a 'thriller' but much of the pacing is slow in the first half or two-thirds of the book and deals with background and scene setting, long speeches by various characters on political realities, capitalism and private sector marketing and training details for the novice analyst. I think another pass or two with an editor could have tightened the storyline.
