Pike Logan

review 1: I like pike and I like his writing but this book just got more and more stupid with ridiculous events. from an early 5* down to 3 at best. Jennifer being involved so heavily is stupid. oh and she's an expert gymnast and can disarm a navy seal with a few unsuspecting kicks to the groin. then there is this WMD that is just mold spores and only kills those predisposed to the toxin... yet somehow it wiped out a whole bus of people in Bosnia but only 50 out of a crowd of thousands.I'll try another pike book but this one, although it contains some good dialog is really stupid!then again if Jennifer is involved in all of them maybe I won't
review 2: DNF. Read as an audiobook. Which probably skewed my opinion of this book because the main narrator (there were two) mad... moree our female protagonist a whiner who questioned everything, despite the fact that a total stranger was busy saving her ass.To say I detested this book would be a fairly accurate review.Character-wise I liked 'Pike' Logan. I could have done with out Jennifer. Then the plot went down hill for any kind of plausibility - and I say this KNOWING I read scifi and fantasy. The book lost credibility when Jennifer scampers up and down the side of a building three times, then tells Pike she trained with Cirque de Soliel for three months. Um...no. Just because you trained as a performer does NOT give you the ability to climb up and down a two story building three times. The whole premise that Pike and Jennifer needed to be "terminated" was utterly contrived and well. stupid. I could also make the argument that this was a romance disguised as a political thriller. Damsel in distress, down on his luck Hero turns into a shining knight. We have abduction, fleeing, little tremors of realization that "ooo, she likes me!". Romance. The book also jumps around fairly frequently - like in paragraphs - from point of view to point of view. A little jarring, but I could see the author was trying to keep the timeline cohesive and all the characters moving forward at the same rate. The only part of this book I liked were the terrorists. Can't recommend this one. Unless you like political thrillers, then maybe you'll have better luck than I. I'm going back to police procedurals. less
