Review: I wanted more of the unusual trio of Joe Kilroy, the Almighty, and Gandhi!

I just finished reading Implant by Michael Wallace. I bought this thriller back in March, but just now got around to reading it (I have wayyy too many books on my TBR list). I loved this action/thriller. Touches of sci-fi (with the implants), but no more so than in other good spy stories. I have another Wallace thriller on my Kindle already,The Devil's Deep, which I picked up In January. I will have to bump up that book on my TBR list. Michael's written a very good story that kept me anxious to know what would happen next. For the cost ($0.99), this book is really good, and I rate it 4 stars at least. If Michael reads this post I just want to let him know I really enjoyed the 3 odd-ball characters that Ian & Julia met in the secret insane asylum: Joe Kilroy ("I eat brains"), The Almighty, and Gandhi. Shades of early Jon Land action adventure stories such asEighth Trumpet&Kingdom of the Seven! Jon's stories (and I love them all, highly recommended) involve leading action characters like Ian Westhelle, and usually feature sidekicks with unusual natures/backgrounds like Joe, the Almighty, and Gandhi. I just wish we could have read more about those 3 guys. Although one of them does come back for an important appearance near the end of the book.
