I have read Brett Battles before so when I came across this novel being offered temporarily for free, I just had to grab it! Sure enough, it was the kind of non-stop action I have come to expect from Mr Battles, but it is the thinking person's thriller in the sense that it is not violence for the sake of it, or action for the same reason. The characters are interesting and I especially love the main character's father and his little band of geriatrics plus their group of Vietnam Vet bodyguards. Yes, they're getting on but they've still got it, baby!The story necessitates the main character travelling halfway around the world to better understand the situation he has fallen into regarding a kidnapped granddaughter which soon becomes about the political situation in Myanmar (which used to be Burma). I won't tell you any more because if you have read Mr Battles previously you will be wanting to get on with his next book and if you have not - now is a great time to start!
