Review: Not as good as the first book-couldn't finish...
Rating: 2 out of 5
Date: 09 28, 2012
Once I purchase a book I almost always finish it. This book is an exception. The story grows more outlandish and conspiracy laden at every turn. Tough ex-special forces operatives are unable to complete forced marches without "losing their minds", the complete tactical ignorance of the military commanders is appalling, and once again the "battle scenes" don't feel accurate. I lost interest half-way through because of the wild scenarios mostly brought about by ignorant tactical errors of supposed leaders. It was frustrating and not that fun to read--unlike the first book, which while far-fetched, was fun. I wouldn't advise anyone to get this unless they are super-attached to the characters and want to see what happens after the first book...
