I took this book on holiday, normally a book would last me the whole trip but i couldn't put this down, i had it finished in 3 days. The story picks up pace nicely, gives enough detail about the characters and locations visited so that you get a real sense of who they are and the situations they are facing. The adventure that you go on with Dr Thomas Lourdes, Natashya Safarov and Leslie Crane will get you turning the pages in anticipation, with just enough twists and turns, you'll be reading the next page, rather than putting it down. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes Angels and Demons or Digital Fortress.
