review 1: This is Noah Boyd's second book. In his initial book he introduced us to ex FBI Agent Steve Vail and Steve is the main focus of this book. Boyd is an excellent writer with many twists and turns in the plot and story line that require the unique abilities of Steve Vail. I really have enjoyed these books and am anxiously awaiting the next book. The books combines international spy story lines, FBI and government moles, bad FBI leadership and a few other things. Noah Boyd is ex FBI and I can imagine how the FBI feels about how we writes about some of their leadership. The reason Steve Vail is ex FBI is that he cannot stomach or follow the incompetence of those FBI Agents placed over him. He is also a pretty impressive "maverick" in how he comes up with solutions to the ... moreproblems he is faces with. Very ingenious stuff. Highly recommend this author and his books.
review 2: This is the second book in Boyd's series that started with The Bricklayer. This is a well written thriller with ex and occasional contract FBI agent Steve Vail with twists that surprise, interesting supporting players and knowledge of what the FBI is really like. It's a good, page-turning read.The most serious flaw in the book - is the same flaw in his last book, which I overlooked because it was his first book and the supposedly smart, suspicious main character should had suspected much sooner than he did - is the obvious existence of a mole in the operation. I don't like it when I am so far ahead of the plot even to the point of knowing, pretty much, who the mole is. Still... I enjoyed it, mostly. less
