This one is old-style thriller. Pace is intentionally slowed down for the sake of side-quests so to speak - like romance between a main character and soldier woman tasked with protecting him or constant verbal battles between main character and his academia opponents - and this has a direct effect on the story itself.

If you like slow paced thrillers that takes time to give you background on a society (be it England or Israel) then this is book for you.

If you are expecting fast paced action story - then you might want to skip this one.

Action scenes are frenetic and very realistic. I truly enjoyed them, just wished there was more actual action than talk.

All in all highly recommended to all fans of good adventure story. ( )

Interesting and unusual premise, easy to read, but the main character is an arse and the action, whilst excellent, is sparse. Not as good as Kolymsky Heights. ( )
