Funk Rating: 9 out of 10
Oh what fun it is to have John Corey and DeMille back in hand for another summer read! While the plotline is very odd timewise (set in like 2004), it's a chuckle and a half to read the smart-aleck writing of DeMille via one of his superheroes (aka John Corey). Formerly NYPD, recently on the Anti-Terrorist Task Force. As is typical, the pace is rapid, the characters classic, and the tension high.
This is about as good as it seems to get this summer, and the stakes are as high as it gets with revenge killings, weapons of mass destruction, cutting edge technology, and good old fashioned detective work and puzzle solving. DeMille probably overbuilds the cat-and-mouse game a bit, and it gets silly in spots. But it's still a great, fun read in my mind.
Enjoy!
