Carte Blanche by Jeffery Deaver

4.0

Surprisingly good book. It dealt with social issues much much better than I expected it to. The book delves into war profiteering with a decent amount of deftness. It's also a moderately good look at post apartheid South Africa. It still has definite sexism and objectification problems, but at least this books acknowledges them and tries to examine them in some sort of critical process, which is a huge leap for the series. Overall I had a really good time with this book. It's especially good after reading Neal Stephenson's [b:Reamde|10552338|Reamde|Neal Stephenson|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1305993115s/10552338.jpg|15458989] which completely failed when it came to subtlety.
Also, this book's Villains were good and villainous.
