Very formulaic, it could have come from Chatbot or a robot. ( )

I can only give this one 2 stars. I loved Stuart Woods but I do have to say I didn't find this one very interesting. I was bored after the first 2 0r 3 chapters and just couldn't wait to finish. I am gad "Teddy Fey" was able to find out who was behind the fake video involving Peter and Ben but other than that this one showed me nothing. I sure hope the next book is better. ( )

Simply dreadful. It is unclear why Stuart Woods parted ways with co-author Parnell Hall, but the writing and readers suffered for the change to a new co-author. Centurion Films is trying to help Macau become a more prominent in film production when there is sabotage, and Teddy Fay is asked to fix the problem. The storyline is ridiculously convoluted, with the daughter of a Chinese telecom family trying to escape to the U.S. by testifying that their products are spying on Americas and her sworn vengeance against a childhood friend/mid-level gangster, who abandoned her, succumbing to pressure from her uberwealthy family. Throw in a billionaire who is an intermediary and a bunch of backdealing, and you've got a hot mess. Run away quickly from this one. ( )
