The Pardon by James Grippando

3.0

The plot is pretty well crafted - the villain manages to put a lot of roadblocks in Jack’s way. It was a long book, maybe it needed to be, but I skimmed through a lot of description and don’t miss anything essential. The characters are two dimensional - I never really liked Jack. The final showdown is hokey as Jack suddenly gets just what he needs just when he needs it. The epilogue is a joke. “What a horrible ordeal. Oh well, let’s just move on and be happy.”
