I tried, but I couldn't get into this book. It was just boring. ( )

I received a free copy of this from the author with a request to post a review.

This review refers to the audiobook version. The narrator did a good job of doing all the voices and speaking various languages. I enjoyed the high tech spy aspects of the story especially the multiple drones: mother drones, child drones, grandchildren drones. I liked that the action takes place in North Korea. Early on there is a mission with all the many drones doing a very difficult job that really pull me into the action. This pace kept up through all the book and I found the two main characters interesting. A very entertaining book. ( )

Disclaimer: I was provided a review copy of this book, having read several Lee Child stories.

This book is setting the scene for a series. Story telling is on the simple and slow side, but the tech descriptions and back story provides an almost believable near-future, albeit with a few gaping holes. The predictable story line did not end satisfactorily; the relationships do not feel believable. Will still read the next couple of books to see if the author improves, as the ideas are good. ( )

I wish Marshall Hail's invention converting nuclear waste into fuel was real. The drone's carrying baby drones was brilliant. I wasn't sure that a ship that was a mall, school, hospital, employer, housing for an unknown group of former rogues would work. Since I'm a loner who doesn't go out much, I thought about where I've gone in the past five years. I realized that it would probably work. I love the idea of the ship of hurt people with a space to heal and a job to do. I wouldn't mind being there myself, . . . but I'd never let Kara charge my phone.

I look forward to the next book. ( )

very enjoyable book. A Tom Clancy like book with drones. ( )
