Not complicated. Borderline realistic. ( )

Pages read 505.

Andy McNab gives details of the Panama jungle in great detail. Obviously part of his SAS training.

The story opens with Nick Stone trying to assassinate somebody on the House of Commons terrace. He aborts, we are not sure why.

He is then asked to finish the job in Panama otherwise he won't see his daughter again.

Three quarters of the book is then taken up with preparations for this, often bogged down in detail about the geography and topography of Panama.

Having set this moment up in such detail the actual hit was then a bit rushed and led to a whole new bit of the story about a attempt to blow up a ship in the canal.

Having not read any Nick Stone stories before I wasn't sure if the character is gay or not. Is Josh his romantic partner?

All in all some parts not example inedible that we'll, too bogged down in detail at times and lacking a bit of cohesion.

Three dears. ( )

Unread, so don't know whether it's any good. SAS stories are not to my taste these days.

Swapped on RISI for 'Perfume: The Story Of A Murderer' by Patrick Suskind which was the first book I read after arriving in the UK.
