OK, if you are an occasional reader and this thematic is new to you, read this book. But if you've read similar ones ... I'm sure they were better.

Characters are not well fleshed out, one seems to exist solely to make stupid remarks (Duncan McLeod - gee, where have I heard that name before?). The story is, at best, plausible, with a very IMplausible ending. Predictable to the nth degree.

Not very well edited, either: I've seen numerous typos and a glaringly obvious mistake - that Muslims in Egypt take off Sundays (!) - just had me shake my head.
