I'm glad this wasn't the first Leslie Wolfe novel I read because, based on this one, I don't think I would have bothered with any more of her books. Personally, I thought it demonstrated her immaturity as a writer. The plot was far too slow and detailed, with little suspense or action and too much dialogue. When the action did arrive, around the 80% read mark, it only lasted a couple of chapters before fizzling out again. There were times I thought Executive was on the improve, but then it would taper off leaving me disappointed.

Tess Winnett and Laura Baxter, both protagonists created by this author and with their own series, are far more interesting, exciting and likeable characters than Alex Hoffmann. She was certainly intelligent, but she was distant and aloof, stopping me from ever connecting with her.

Despite an inauspicious start, I will try the next book in the Alex Hoffmann series with the hope that the storyline and character development improves. Fingers crossed! ( )

Verified my opinion of many corporate butt-heads! Anothr great hold on to your seat, corporate & military story of greed! A good read. ( )

I received a copy to facilitate my review. The opinons expressed here are my own.

In this young adult thriller you have a corporation that manufactures drones. Then you have a company that sends people in to help fix companies in trouble. Alex Hoffman is one of those up and coming people sent to work undercover in the company that makes drones. Two military drones have crashed killing a lot of innocent people. Her job is to pretend to be an IT person and find out what happened. She is faced with a lot of arrogant executives who abuse their powers. The question is, will she be able to do her job, or will she be discovered?

This is definitely a book that will keep you on the edge of your seat turning the pages as fast as you can. I did feel like the author had a negative outlook on big corporations. It kind of came through in the pages of the story. I could be completely wrong. This was not a big enough deal to make me not enjoy the storyline. I believe there is enough here to love that any lover of thrillers will enjoy this book. ( )
