Mediocre book with too many 'been there / done that' scenes. If first time probably would have been high on my list. Oh well, hope to find something original.

Amazing, non-stop thriller. Sam Capra is a great character and great hero. I can't wait to see where it goes. ( )

This has to be the dumbest, most far fetched story I have read. "Minority Report" is more likely than premises of this book. Even scifi writers couldn't make the weapon believable.
I also had to wonder why he couldn't just say CIA. ( )
