On the back of the copy I have praised three great writers, all cover the story immensely. There are a lot of action, suspense and excitement in this story. And yet, even though I like this kind of story and the characters stayed flat for me. The FBI agents are all much more stupid than all the agents would never suspect a lot less pat evidence that any law enforcement or security personnel, which I would ever met. I do not give spoilers, but more than one agent to miss obvious that a few bars on the window. There are many traps and puzzles and complications, but I did and I think that most readers will also especially the people in the book did not contain. Most people are cardboard. This could be a great story, but people no longer come alive on the page. I never felt myself sucked empathy for each character or the story of the last 50 pages. I read on, because the situations were interesting, but I mainly knew from reading a story, rather than doing it in such great books suck too. The hero seems to be almost the only player in the position is one of the puzzles to solve and the kinds of pitfalls and dangers he escapes been suspended and that he had the superhuman strength and reflexes as well as the intelligence of a super genius. Rating: 3 / 5

This book is incredible. Steve Vail is the kind of hero you read more. He’s like Lee Child’s Jack Reacher Marvel Comics and The Punisher, but with a conscience. When the work is dirty, Vail is the man turns to the FBI. He will do what it takes to those who protect the trust in him, but it’s not always get what book he moves into an incredible speed and fait.Le Boyd has a great job of creating a hero, regardless of its value. The rear-scenes shows that here in detail Boyd knows what he (or, as a great writer says that he makes you believe he does). I look forward to his follow-up to this point and Steve Vail. Rating: 5 / 5

I really enjoyed this book. The main characters are interesting and very human. There are no super-hero but a hero to question. I can not wait until the next novel by the author. Rating: 5 / 5

When the FBI agents insubordination Steve Vail, they shot had no idea they would be desperate enough to hire him again. Well it seems there is this bright enough blackmail plot problems with it. After the killing of an important person, a group that was to kill Rubaco Pentad distinquished continue to target high-level and except where the agency pays them a certain amount. If they do not die, another goal and the dollar amount increases. Even if no new ground, and many characters appear in the box, you can not help but cheer for the protagonist Noah Vail Lead Steven. He has an intuition, a small wonder that all around it can seem a little vague spirit. His means of escape almost any situation is extraordinary. Even if some of his antics are hard to swallow safely for a fast and exciting reading. I think this number could grow on me. Rating: 4 / 5

Have you ever seen the term “compulsive read, and think:” Yeah, right! ” Well, this is done, the builder! It starts quickly, with some bank robbers are foiled by an unknown hero, who leaves the scene and did not want credit. Then there is a villain and kidnapped someone wants millions back. Of course, this exchange of rights for $ is not proceeding as planned and that the FBI is unclear and confused. Then VAIL Steve Call is the hero of this novel. Vail is a former FBI, but his ideas on how cases should be resolved and what steps should he should not be allowed to take. He is a racket to make it easy. Think Jack Bauer of 24 or hero of Michael Connelly’s Harry Bosch, among others. Vail says, not much, but there may be problems reflect other non-critical and critical. His courage and execution of a plan is not part précédent.La investigation of this novel is first class, and reminds me of a novel by Michael Connelly a little. This thriller is constantly in motion, and the hero is admirable and fun for the root. The scenes in which the money can be given up in exchange for hostages are surprisingly convincing. They read like a great film full of traps like the SAW movie series, but much less Gore. The end is well done and well, so there is a payment at the end aussi.Je Noah Boyd is the highest praise, because it close to a five-star novel. Four and a half stars for sure. I can not wait for the next! Rating: 4 / 5
