Good-bye, Sandford and ghost writers
Perhaps Sandford himself did write this book, but this book is not Sandford's voice of the other Prey Series, all of which I have read. I am Sandford's age, and after 30 years in my profession, I was burned out and retired. Sandford should do the same. He is definitely burned out.
His last three books have disappointed me, a linguist who recognizes printed voices. Sandford has been relying on ghosts for a while. But this book, in addition to having a voice other than Sandford's, lacks his usual tight plot and multi-dimensional characters. It is an amateurish political diatribe. If Sandford, in his old age, wants to spout political philosophy, please, skip the fiction and line up with the other alt-righter or alt-lefters who publish.
Don't take my fifteen bucks and not give me Lucas Davenport, et al.
