    Tedious and trite
    I disliked this book and its extraordinarily self-centered protagonist. Tom Layne will stop at nothing, including repeatedly endangering those he professes to care about, all in the pursuit of his news story. He lacks a moral center but in a truly contrived ending, is redeemed on the last page of the book. I did not find the narrative thrilling, nor did I find it particularly well-written. I cannot recommend this book.
