Two and a half stars. It just didn't draw me in as much as these type of books usually do. I could put it down and not come back to it for a while. I did like the story.

Just a fun easy summer time/vacation read. Jon Smith again successfully thwarts the bad guys who are trying to take over the world! :-D

I'm not sure what I expected from a book based on a series started by the guy who invented Jason Bourne but here it is. There is the skeleton of a good story here with a decent twist about the main villain, a good matryoshka doll structure to the organization and even some terrifying henchmen. Unfortunately the ending falls extremely flat. There's no cleverness or interesting twists. The hero just . It would probably be a 3 star book if it wasn't for the fact it's also needlessly long with a lot of those extra pages being devoted to how cool Santa Fe is and some more to the problems with Frances social support system. Overall a forgettable boilerplate spy thriller.
