Ex-covert op Michael Westen has a new client. Paolo Fornelli is Helmsman for a yacht in the Hurricane Cup-a winner-take-all race financed by the super-rich and preceded by a week of highstakes gambling, high-risk business, and high-class attitude. Paolo's family has been taken hostage. If Paolo ever wants to see them again, he must make it to the final race-and lose.
To find the kidnappers, Michael will have to infiltrate high society and enter a deadly game against deadlier opponents in a world where money isn't the only thing worth killing for...

Format:Mass Market Paperback
The Hurricane Cup, a yacht race of the rich, has come to Miami. Normally, Michael would just ignore it, but this year, a friend of Sam's needs Michael's help. Gennaro Stefania, who will be piloting the family yacht in the race, is being told to throw the race or his wife and daughter will be killed.
When Michael begins poking around, he quickly finds things are more complicated than he imagined. Suddenly, figuring out who is behind the threats might not be enough. Can he stay alive long enough to solve the problem?
Fans of the series will find another enjoyable book to tide them over until the series returns. Once again, the characters from the TV show are spot on. Even the first person narration harkens back to the voice overs from the show. The plot seems a little muddled, but when I went back, thought about it again and reread some parts, it did sort itself out, so I was probably just being dense. The humor from the show comes through as well. Heck, some of the lines in this book were actually funnier than the TV show.
What I found most interesting was that there was no attempt to deal with the burn notice aspect of the show's mythology in any meaningful way. Of course, considering how quickly that is changing on the show and how much lead time there is for the books, that makes sense. Frankly, I didn't really miss it.
These characters truly are wonderful in any form. If you are a fan, get this book. And if you aren't, what are you waiting for? This is as good a place as any to jump in.

Fun TV Tie-In Novel
28 May 2009
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Michael Westen is a former spy who now resides in Miami, trying to figure out the mystery behind his burn notice. Until he uncovers the truth, Michael takes odd jobs helping people. His latest client is a man who races a yacht in a high profile race. His family has been taken hostage, and he has been ordered to lose the race if he ever wants to see them alive again. Michael must not only learn who has the man's family, but hold off the Italian mafia who want nothing more than to win the race.
As a fan of the TV show, I had to read this tie-in novel. I was pleasantly surprised. All of the action, adventure, and humor are wrapped up in this novel. It reads like you're watching an episode, with Michael's frequent spy tips and snarky comments.
Michael's friends Fiona ("former" IRA arms dealer) and Sam (former Navy SEAL) team up with Michael yet again. And Michael's mom and brother make appearances and lead to more comedy relief as Michael must deal with trying to find his mom the perfect gift. Tod Goldberg has deftly written these colorful characters in a brand new adventure that will surely appease fans of the show. Bond fans shouldn't miss this series on TV or in print.

Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
If you are a fan of Burn Notice on the USA network, you will enjoy this quick read. It is written in the same style as the program with Michael doing a lot of narration. The ending was a bit lame after the big build up to the climax. But it is a fun read for a fan.
