Summary: 3 1/2
Review: See book description above.The conclusion almost made up for the rather less than gripping majority of the novel. The timeliness and some of the twists made it worth reading but I hope for a better novel on the next go round. I noticed a few errors in editing also.

Summary: a big disappointment after the 'hunting season'
Review: the whole story dragged on and on like a stupid dog chasing its tail. it panned out so thin and so tiresome as deutermann wrapped himself around with the nurse and the stupid and stubborn terrorist. the story looked quite promising at the beginning, but then it lost steam and interest. why spent so many chapters trying to circle around the stupid and the stubborn terrorist whose only goal was to wipe out the last witness, the nurse, is beyond my comprehension. the 'swamp' is an interesting creation after the hero in the 'hunting season', but this guy gradually lost his attraction since the writer could not get out and get rid of the stupid terrorist. this latest one of deutermann's is just like stephen hunter's latest 'havana', a complete failure, since it not only failed to surpass the other one, but also fell too flat, too thin, and most of all, too boring. sorry, no cigar this time, sir.

Summary: Talkier than needed, but lots of fun
Review: This is a competent, entertaining action yarn that effectively conveys the panic that the author ascribes to the Secret Service during the runup to a presidential inauguration - assuming that there is such panic. Dispatched by a Saudi entity to rain destruction on the inauguration is a villain who, interestingly, admits that he isn't the most brilliant operative around. He makes up for this by being quite ruthless. But you have to feel for the guy somewhat in that his preparation for the task at hand has involved his undergoing a protracted course of plastic surgeries to totally alter his facial and sexual appearance. This includes having inflatable boobs installed under his skin. As the story progresses, it becomes pretty apparent that he could have accomplished any identity confusion his assignment calls for by donning wigs and other detachable prostheses. But the plot is heavily involved with a sneaky plastic-surgery clinic that would have been unnecessary had our bad guy relied solely on makeup and fake hair.
This novel could be improved by pruning the dialogue scenes about 25 percent. I rather quickly began to feel I was hearing every word that our protagonists have to say about every perhaps mundane point, when in many instances, all we need to know is the gist of their ruminations.
