review 1: I very much enjoyed this book. I didn't realize it when I bought it, but it was made into a movie called Mercury Rising some years ago. The book is action packed and, in my opinion, well researched. There ARE a lot of characters, some of which could have been eliminated in my opinion, but I feel that the author did a fantastic job of taking us inside the main characters and giving us a glimpse into their hearts. I'd recommend this book to anyone who likes a good thriller.
review 2: I started reading this story which went in many directions without any links. I stayed with it and the links finally connected into a believable suspense involving secret encrypted messages to keep the government secrets and communications out of the wrong hands. Obviously there are ... morethose who work for the government, but at the same time work on their own to make their riches by selling secrets. The story line is good, but the characters are too many and they are not that well defined to keep the characters straight in one's mind. Also, the writer's style tends to be a little too wordy and tends to burden the reader. Such style distracts from the excitement of the story. I wish I had passed on this book. less
