Actually it’s the lack of an ending that stinks. I enjoyed 398 pages, then basically “now we have 12 days to fix this mess... now buy our next book to see what we do”. Last Wells book for me.

Absolutely fantastic and another great one in the series. But, Alex, tiny quibble...A shot at Provo?!?! I’m a BYU alum, and Provo’s awesome, at least to me :) Irrespective, great book!

Did not like the ending at all.

Very unsatisfying ending

Even a half assed ending would have earned 4 stars.. Be prepared to be disappointed in the ending. Obviously the next book will pick up right where this one left off but when will that be??

I thought the book was well done. I liked the ending even though it left you hanging until the next book..................Very well paced.

I love the characters, Wells, Duto and Schaffer. But it seems that Berenson has run out of new ideas and is now just rehashing the old ones. Nuclear device on its way to America, John Wells, with the help of Schaffer, stops it at the last minute, despite Duto's efforts to foil him. Then we are left with the US and China on the brink of war with no resolution. That's the ending. No answers to the questions that the book raises. It's as if the book ends 2/3 of the way through the story. I would criticize the ending if there was one, but there isn't

Don't get me wrong, I like Alex Berenson and I liked this book but...the ending CLEARLY is "to be continued". I will have forgotten the storyline before I actually get to see the ending. Not a satisfier.

Started out and read like he other great Well's stories . However, I guess the author must have been told by the publishers to cut it short or he needs the money from a next book. Ending sucked and a real disappointment from what I used to consider a good author. Brian

Ripoff, tell half a story and let the suckers wait for a finish. No warning, buyer beware.
