This is possibly a rare Archer novel that I'd missed before. Despite what Salman Rushdie would have you believe, I rate Archer a top-notch storyteller (who got himself out of bankruptcy by writing best-selling novels). Even though this novel is a re-run to make it the third in the Kane trilogy, it is fast-paced, exciting and causes you to lose sleep since you can't put it down till you finish.

A fast interesting book . I like this one over some of his others.A good 4 stars.

An entertaining read, a well-paced story, though not Archer's best. The book, at times, limps along, hesitatingly, as Archer tends to fill space with unnecessary, and somewhat pedantic, explanations that most readers will find demeaning. He could better trust his readers' imaginations to improve both flow and suspense.

Finished Nov 5 2012, a good read.......will continue to read more by Jeffrey. On to "The Life of Pi"
