This book is well written with lots of interesting characters, lots of action and even a love story thrown in for good measure.  The story plot is tightly interwoven and covers a lot of territory from the medical side with experimental implants, to international politics and espionage plus lot's of warfare action.  While I enjoyed the story, I also had some trouble with it. Today's geopolitical and corporate world has shown itself to be totally corrupt and I find tales like this where the good guys triumph in the end to be naive. Where are the real officials to stop illegal insider trading? Where are the real intelligence agents that will sacrifice their careers to see that justice is served and not just sit back and maintain the power status quo?  Where are the real leaders of small countries that really care about their country and peoples and not just about their own power? So, I enjoyed the book as a nice entertaining read that must exist in some other alternate reality because I don't see such things turning out this way in mine.
