★☆☆☆☆
Major disappointment
What a major disappointment! The first two books in the series were quite good. I was eagerly awaiting the third. However, after the first 50-60 pages it became almost unreadable. Why is it that so many writers today feel they need to produce far left screeds masquerading as literature? The plot rapidly devolves from an interesting story about the Sinoloan drug wars to a scurrilous attack on the President and his family. Does the author really think that 1) the reader does not know who he is maligning and 2) if there was a shred of evidence that the Trumps were involved in the drug trade that this would not already be front page headlines in the NYT or on CNN? About half of the book is readable although the characters are mostly stereotypes apparently derived from countless B movies dealing with the drug trade. The rest can be filed under "far left sleaze" and hopefully soon relegated to Half Price Books bargain tables.
