I have read all the books in the Corps Justice series and found The Man from Belarus to be the worst of the bunch. I've historically given 4 and 5-star reviews but this time, I almost closed the book for good at a third of the way in. I found myself confused and wondered what was taking place. There was no action, and the most taking place was the posturing of people around the world. The author switched back and forth in time to follow the whereabouts of Cal's father to determine whether or not he committed adultery. A battle does take place in the final chapters and I was still wondering who was good and who was bad.

I'm hoping that C.G. Cooper returns with another installment that focuses on Cal and his merry men as he did in all the rest. Sorry, but this one left me disappointed. ( )
