Blowout

This is an impossibly lame attempt at a thriller, written by a former US Senator and a veteran writer. Filled with ridiculously honorable and brave protagonists, all of whom are in love, and equally ridiculously venal and evil antagonists, this is just embarrassing all around. The only real suspense in the whole book turns out to be a huge letdown, and large parts of the history and science (the background, not the made-up stuff for the story) seem to be incorrect. I could go on, but I've wasted enough time on this book. ( )
