...and then I needed to know what happened next. I should've stopped at the first book.

I wish I read the first book before this one but it was good and the audio book was excellent. The guy reading changed his voice for all of the characters and did different accents when needed.

The CIA, FBI, and a mysterious oligarchy are all after a man who can fold space and teleport. He is one of a kind...or is he?

This was as entertaining as reading time magazine while getting my oil changed. I mean it wasn't a waste of time since I had time to waste.

Plot driven thriller. Don't expect anything more from it and you'll have an enjoyable couple of nights.

It felt like good Robert Ludlum with teleportation. I enjoyed this one a lot.

I am really reading outside my comfort zone with this series, but what can I say? It sucked me in. The fantastical part of the story seemed be more believable than others, but who knows? Maybe my friends and sons are having a bad influence on me!

It does have more sexual content overtones than I generally like, but this one was more mild than the first one.
I enjoyed the story and especially the female character's part in this one.

While the first book in this series was a bit too much in the "nothing ever REALLY goes wrong for the protagonist despite bad decisions" category, this book might skew too far in the other direction. The plot is extremely straight forward (everything is set up in the first chapter, and the rest of the book is just playing everything out to its natural conclusion), but the Davy chapters (the chapters alternate between following Davy or Millie) are needlessly brutal at times. I did appreciate the further exploration of teleportation, but that didn't balance out the rest of the book for me. I still enjoyed it, but I will not be immediately picking up the third book in the series.
