I like the author, I like the character, I like the settings, so I almost didnt review this.BUT the book takes up right after Tears for Tripoli ends (a really good book) he spots a still alive adversary. the book then gets, for me, too bloody for the first 1/3 of the book.  the detail of the beatings/torture,,,,, then yet another group bursting in to save him,, but not,,, and after this (would need a hospital) he's left in a windowless basement for one week to recover and then tossed into this scenario involving greed etcAfter that though, I kinda like the character again. Somehow his skill set for survival is almost gone, as if years had gone by,  and he's kinda an idiot.  Almost hard to root for him.that being said, I'd still buy just about anything this guy writes (afer all, his Hunter series was pretty bloody (well, part 1) also)and I rather liked that.
