I had no idea what this was going to be about, I thought maybe a Remo Williams type story but it turned into a stupid action hero unbelievable comic book story that is so slow I nodded off a few times

The writing of this is terrible, first thing is the back and forth timeline which I hate! I was half way through this book when I finally got to part 2 which at this point Meed finally tells Savage who she really is and how they are connected and from that point I flipped through the rest of the book and then I shut it---it was going to be all over the globe and I'm not interested in that kind of story, maybe if you like fantasy it might be for you but for me it's just another DUD that Patterson has put his name on to sell it

The first half was almost like the Remo Williams movie which I liked but as it moved on it just got slow and draggy and I hated the back and forth timeline

I haven't found a good Patterson book for years now and I'm about ready to mark him off my list!
