I bought this book off an Amazon recommendation linked to the Splinter Cell book "Checkmate". The recommendation was way off!
There are far too many primary characters, even more incidental ones, the plot is rather dull and has gaps (the entire George Hadash sub-plot was utterly pointless except to lead to the closing paragraphs of the book) the technology seemed to be lifted straight from Splinter Cell and even the department (Desk Three) is a little close to Splinter Cell's "Third Echelon"
And as for the "Art Room"... sorry but someone swallowed a few too many "poncy pills" before they came up with that!
This book is worth avoiding, Checkmate has far more class.

Better than you might expect!

This is a really very good series, unfortunately, it doesn't seem to enjoy the sales success it deserves because the publisher has drastically cheapened the binding and production standard. Shame as this is the best so far in my opinion. It centres on a plot to steer a ship loaded with explosives into a major US oil facility. The writers present us with a truly imaginative picture of the mind set of would be terrorists, very clever stuff.
