Review: Satisfactory Reworking of Formulaic Thriller
Rating: 4 out of 5

While the book does not break new ground in conspiracy thrillers, it did  a good job in holding this readers interest. Someone is employing an effective killer to blow up vital links in internet communication. Opposing him (or them) is a primary and a secondary pairing of male and female, one set for the West Coast and the other on the East Coast. The first is the center of the opposition, the second, frankly, seems an afterthought with relatively little character development expended on them. Some familiar tools are utilized to isolate the West Coast team from utilizing law enforcement agencies, which, of course, are countered by the ingenuity and daring of the team.One need not take a position on the likelihood of this sort of conspiracy being launched nor the potential for its success, to enjoy the unfolding of the plot and the efforts of the Good Guys to thwart the agents of the Nefarious Forces. There is relatively little of the complexity one finds in the most successful plying the genre; however, that fact makes for easier reading, suitable to travel and other light reading situations. Those who desire heavier fare should turn to the heavyweights readily available for kindle reading (at a less desirable cost).
