Rated of 5
by Sarah B. (Streamwood, illinois) Good, fast read.
This book is action-packed from the first page with many twists and turns along the way. Steve Vail is the main character who like Macguyver can escape from any situation, and James Bond in that he has no regard for rules to get done what needs to be done. The book is easy to follow, and a fast read.

This book appeals to those readers who enjoy seeing the big bosses thwarted when they insist on staying on the beaten path. Steve Vail is a delight to watch as he skillfully outmaneuvers his FBI supervisors. The clarity of the presentation of the plot is a plus. Although the reader is kept in mystery, the path is a good one to follow. Good for high school and public libraries.

A new action character has arrived on the scene: Steve Vail - James Bond and MacGyver rolled into one. The story moves along quickly with lots of twists and turns in the plot (sometimes it gets a little difficult to keep up). One thing that bothered me was the frequent use of acronyms (ASAC. AUSA, OPR, AG, UC - you get the idea). An appendix explaining the meaning of them would be helpful. Other than that, it was an enjoyable read.
