The plot is a good one but has some major execution glitches. The characters were interesting but the constant use of 3rd person omniscient POV in talking about the characters was distracting for me. Sometimes the characters would be in 1st person present tense then there would be an abrupt switch to the 3rd person. This abrupt switching also carried over to scene transitions especially some of the action scenes. The story would be comfortably coasting along then bam we would be in an action scene. Then the action scene would be over and whup we would be coasting along with the story plot. Characters are much more real when they describe themselves in 1st person present tense when executing actions. A couple of the action scenes felt they were there for sake of action only. (I think this was mostly due to the lack of a good lead in to the scene.)After the real bad guys were revealed about 3/4 of the way thru the book, the outcome could be guessed. But I did like the execution of the final outcome.  I did not notice a lot of spelling or grammar errors which was also a plus. 64 is a good read for a rainy afternoon.
