This was one of the better books I have read in the last year.

Started it on take off of my flight, finished it about an hour before landing and was mad at myself for not bringing the second one in the series.

One thing that was nice to see was the attention to detail on things. Not just attention to detail, getting the details correct. For example, his favored pistol is the 1911 from Wilson. (Lets not get into the debate of 1911 vs this or that.) Not only did he use correct terms for things, like magazine vs "clip", he describes it fully and accurately. It seems he actually went out and at least handled one, if not shot it. So many authors just toss a bunch of firearm terms together to describe something and just come across as sounding really ignorant. It wasn't just the firearms either. from the truck to the other characters.

Was a good read and looking forward to getting into the next book in the series.
