Boy, I read some reviews after reading a few pages of this but on I strove, able to skim just about the entire book especially the gratuitous sex and violence sections. I can't believe that someone with such an oeuvre as Wilbur Smith could have written such trash, so badly. It's suggested in some reviews that it was ghost written- I would go further to say ghost written by someone for whom English is a second language. The lack of contracted verbs especially in conversation was so jarring and clunky. I would've suggested it'd make a good action movie but there are so many holes in the plot and so many conveniences used for the plot it'd need a heap of revision. It strikes me as a snuff movie in book form. Ugh.
