A pretty cool, thrilling story but its very long, there is probably two books worth of story in here. The author is very verbose. If he can say something in ten words, he'll use a hundred. There is also a lot of awkward and stilted conversation. At times, especially early on you kind of have to power through, but when the action sequences start, things really get moving. The villain's end is a little anti-climactic.
