Funk Rating: 8 out of 10
I have to give Thor some credit on this one -- a good page turner that combines history with today's global politics and the threat of fundamentalist Islam. Did you know Thomas Jefferson had some experience with Islam via the Barbary Wars (and that the US paid something like 20% of GDP to pirates back in those days?!)? Thor pulled a mild Dan Brown here, with some old religious clues combined with good old chutzpah of Scot Harvath.
This isn't a great book from a character development perspective, and in fact, it's a little weak and less "fun" than his other works. But there are still some good bad-ass things in here, and it's a page turner for sure. :)
Fine beach or airplane reading if you like the other Scot Harvath books. But I wouldn't put this in the bag until you've read other ones...
