I received this kindle book for free, in exchange for an honest review. The honest truth is that when I get something free, I tend not to rush to read it. But once I started this one, I had a hard time stopping. It caught and kept my interest.However, it's not a great book. The premise is a bit far-fetched, and there are many coincidences in the plot to make it work. Also, a lot of the exposition comes through long letters which the conspirators write to each other and encode, in which they tell each other all the background and the whole plot. This is not believable to me.But it does make one think--is there a method behind all the conspiracy theory madness?I was more than a little confused by Ted Kuzinski's role in the story (he's the Unibomber but he seemed to be a good guy here.)And yes, there's some hot sex here, though the fact that the main character and presumably alter-ego of the author is the one that the incredibly sexy hooker falls in love with was a bit creepy.And the very last page of the book seems to imply that the author actually fears for his life--he refuses to say anything about himself except that he's an adult male. I don't know if this is schtick or craziness.
