I liked the location for this story. Also, it did have a bit of the "spy" vibe to it. The main character, Roger is likable. Although, maybe not the brightest bulb in the pack. It was amazing that he did not get killed. In regards to a spy thriller, this book did have the old fashion feel to a spy movie back in the late sixties to early seventies. Not a lot of sex or violence. The story did move along fairly fast.
There were a bunch of characters that like another one of Mr. Lange's books, I had trouble keeping all of the characters straight. Again, due to Roger's lack of intelligence; at times the story did seem implausible. Yet, it was nice to see how Mr. Lange got his start as a writer.

Started off strong with a typical case of mistaken identity, but ended flat with too many loose ends. 2.5 stars

The way women are portrayed is very disturbing. All of them are extremely attractive, falling over themselves to have sex with the MC. It's one of the books where it's impossible to ignore the fact that it was written by a man. It is annoying. It got to the point where it was too much to ignore, the story was not good enough to put up with it.

My mission to read every Crichton book was slowed down when it came to this book.
You can see Crichton's style in his writing, but this being he second book he published, it's not anything like his later books.
I'm so glad he got better.

Not what I expected from Crichton, but a lot of fun anyway!
