This is a hard read. I kept waiting for the good parts, but alas, never found them.1 - the plot is hard to willingly disbelieve. Most of the decisions the protagonists make no sense.  Why would the FBI be involved in the stupid decision to give a live tv interview to a prisoner?  Armed mercenaries come to kill you? Better leave your safe room and answer the random phone ringing.2 - the forced romance out of nowhere. C'mon.3 - the ridiculous and gratuitous overuse of the thesaurus and overwriting.4 - added bonus. Continuity errors melded with bad prose.  The lights have been out for some time, driving the plot. Or at least giving it a weak direction in which to meander, when after an explosion, the flourescent lights flicker, greedily searching for a steady trickle of life giving current.  Ouch.5 - "he could feel himself turn blue from the cold".  What?  How?6 - why would the FBI care about a governors reelection plans?7 - the cold blooded sniper who makes a chest shot from a distance, takes a follow up shot and misses and shakes it off figuring the job is done. Then why take the second shot?  Minutes later she makes a head shot on a moving target.These are just a few annoyances off the top of my head.I got this book for free and I still want my money back.
