Product Description

Product Description
The abduction of a Russian controller and his teenage daughter by a ruthlessly professional terrorist threatens worldwide economic stability. Agent Sydney Bristow and the black ops unit APO are called in for the rescue. The stakes are high: they have less than forty-eight hours before the controller must deliver a speech crucial to the economic future of Russia and Eastern Europe. But sometimes even the best intelligence is incomplete. The true threat is bigger, and closer at hand, than anyone considered, and only an emotionally shattered teenage girl can make everything right - or single-handedly cause a tragedy of unimaginable scale.

4.0 out of 5 stars Weak Writing but Engaging Second Half, 5 Jul 2005
By Mark Baker (Santa Clarita, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
It doesn't seem like that unusual an assignment. A Russian controller and his family have been kidnapped 48 hours before he's to present a speech at an international oil forum. The CIA is trying to keep their distance, so Sydney and the gang at APO are called in to rescue the man in time to give his speech. Syd and Vaughn infiltrate the hiding place to perform the rescue, but are only able to find his daughter, Faina. Debriefing her, they learn the stakes are much higher then they could ever image and a race starts to prevent an international crisis.

I was a little surprised when I learned that the novels would be jumping ahead from prequels (which I was enjoying) to the current setting for the show. Even more surprising was the increase in page count. Still, I settled in to enjoy a fun read. Unfortunately, the first half was rather poorly written. While the story moves forward well, the writing is extremely weak. I finally figured out it's because the story is told, not shown. We are told what characters are feeling instead of them acting it out for us. What's even worse, we are often told that character A knows what character B is going through.

I was becoming very frustrated when I reached the half way point. From there, the book really picks up. It's basically one long mission, and the action moves quickly from character to character, filling us in on everything going on. At this point, I was frustrated every time I got interrupted and couldn't wait to get back to it.

This book fits in perfectly with the first half of the season. Overall, it's a wise choice to move the novels to the current time so they can feature the characters and situations the freshest in the viewer's mind. Hopefully future books will have just a bit more polish to the writing.
