Review: A Five....BUT
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 10 7, 2013
I gave this novel a 5 star rating, but primarily only because it was a debut novel and very inexpensive when I bought it.  Otherwise, I'd probably give it a 3 1/2 to 4 rating.  The action sequences were well-written.  The storyline didn't have any major holes in it; however, killing everyone in the way of the ending was a bit much.  The uber-Oz monkeys were a bit much. An F-35 in downtown Las Vegas was a bit much.What that adds up to is a fairly good storyline that was carried too far on the believability scale.  All the pieces were there, but it felt contrived.  That's not to say that it was difficult to visualize the author's meaning and intent.  Many successful B movies have been written with less substance.Overall though, I liked it.  I especially enjoyed the last scene with the doctor after meeting with the young man.  I won't say more to avoid spoilers.
