I started this review three times before I finally decided on this.
Blah.
It started out great, as a techno-thriller set in post 9/11 America, a glimpse of the shadowy world of the spy and counter-spy.
The ending left me wondering why I bothered reading, what was the point of the whole exercise.
If this was an intentional effect, Gibson revealing the absolute routine and semi-pointless nature of most intelligence operations in the real world, he has succeeded brilliantly.
Not Gibson's best work, and this coming from a real Gibson fan.
