Review: Weakest of the Jet Stories
Rating: 2 out of 5
Date: 05 21, 2013
I'm a fan of Russell Blake and a huge fan of his Jet books.  However, this one is below average of the first 4 books.Sure there's plenty of action and fighting and Jet always comes out ahead. I have no issue with her seemingly endless close calls with either serious injury or death. But I have issues when the so-called fast read is actually quite slow.This book has Jet being convinced she's the only one who can help her previous employer, Mossad, stop some ex-agents of Mossad from blowing up a nuke.  Obviously, even though she's supposedly dead to the world, the head of Mossad knows she's alive & has a child.The first 20% of this book is back story regarding said Nuke and Jet's not in it at all.  Once she's in the book, the story starts to pick up steam.  The climax is, of course, incredible, but nothing we haven't already read.My reason for the low rating is the first part of the story.  It's just a little slow.  Even some of the time with Jet and Matt was a little boring.Anyway, as the ending makes it clear we're in for more Jet, (which I'm happy about), you will still need to read this so you can follow along.So even though I gave it a 2 star rating, you will need to read it to stay in the loop, so to speak.  But I did warn you about the pace of the story.
