A good yarn, some bits stretched plausibility a little. For example the star crossed lovers leading to an international terrorist cabal, the idea of a random witness being trained in CIA and Delta Force tactics, the utter senselessness of the CIA, it was just a bit silly. Scot's constant wisecracking is a little annoying as well. But it was suitably interesting and engaging enough that I'm interested to see where it goes next.
