horrible writing style albeit old fashioned. snail-crawling storyline, textbook-like sentences, every page was a tormenting, lot of italic paragraphs that were supposed to be the thoughts of all those moronic characters in this book. none of the characters looked realistic and capable. have tried several of this writer's novels, but failed every time after 10 to 30 pages. never again.

I really enjoy reading this book despite its length. It has lots of action that will take you places. Perhaps one thing I enjoy most is the Argentina. I highly recomment if you like reading hair raising thriller.

I am so dissapointed with this book, its so lame and drags for so long... no where near Tom Clancy or Robert Ludlum's work.

I don't know how I got all the way through this book. I guess I was expecting that there would eventually be some good action and it would get exciting. But the only action in the book lasts all of ONE page. And it's a LONG book. It could've been pretty good, if it was more succinct. If not action-packed, at least it has good descriptions of Buenos Aires. But WEB Griffith repeats himself incessantly. He keeps summarizing what has already happened. Generally, Charley Castillo tells one person what happened. Then he goes and talks to someone else and tells them what happened. And then he reports to the president and tells them what happened. Why can't Griffith just write "and he told the president what happened"? Instead of writing it all over again? Plus, everyone is so full of themselves, it drives me nuts. Except Charley, who is rightly doubtful about his own abilities. He SUCKS. He totally fails the mission. And he bullies people with his rank constantly. Yet everyone around him keeps congratulating him. "Charley, don't get down on yourself, you're super great! Really! Have $11 million and form a secret army, OK?" Jeesh. I'm sorry, but Juan Cabrillo would kick Charley Castillo's a-- any day. And finally, the love story is stupid. WEINERSCHINTZEL, baby! Constantly. Weinershnitzel, weinerschitzel, weinerschitzel....Aghhhhh!!! Really embarrassing stuff. Any real woman would run screaming from that. Juan Cabrillo would steal his girlfriend in 5 seconds flat.

It is a long and sometime drawn out story, but it does show the inter workings of the different departments of the "sneek and peek" part of our Government.
The in-fighting and non-sharing of info/intel goes on everyday and it continues.
I enjoy books that take you around the World, as right now that is where the war on terror is being fought.
My only problem with this book was that, we had a big long build up and a really fast end to everything.
But that has not stopped me from already buying the subsequent in the story line.
Enjoy......
