Watching latest James Bond brought me back into spy action/adventure literature :)

What starts as the hunt for a rogue assassin ends up as a more complex mission for our protagonist Will Robie. As he tries to navigate that middle-ground between blind obedience and analytical thinking about the missions assigned to him, Robie will soon find himself on the wrong end of [multiple] gun[s]. Only by his experience and still quick reflexes he will manage to survive.

Story has whole bunch of twists and turns and although at some points we enter the cliches of the genre, actions and feats of both Robie and other characters seem very realistic.

Highly recommended to all fans of thrillers and spy novels. ( )

It was a fast-paced enjoyable read... but the apocalypse didn't seem that apocalyptic and it wasn't clear to me why the top brass was still upset at the end. ( )

Hit man Robie becomes uneasily teamed with hit woman Reel in attempting to head off a high level conspiracy to incite world chaos, and gains some humanity in the process. Not sure I ever figured out who was who, or whether they uncovered everything. Still of course, neverending action. ( )
