This is one of those books that simulates being a real story well enough to be mistaken for one at a distance of 500 yards.

The closer you get, though, the more you realize that something is just off. It's just a scaffolding of halfhearted attempts at worldbuilding mixed with cartoonishly ridiculous spy-movie character archetypes. Completely soulless, possibly an abomination.
