★☆☆☆☆
Pretty sad commentary when authors screw up a good franchise due to their politics...
I’ve read all of Steve Barry’s books, alas this will be my last. I can take a dig or two, yet I lost count of how many times Barry took the opportunity to dig Trump. Yeah, we get it, you don’t like Trump. Pretty silly, actually, as I’d bet that the deplorables were the ones that were largely buying your books. Once you can get past the jerk in the White House diatribe, it’s a decent enough book. It’s no War and Peace or a To Kill a Mockingbird (but then again, that’s not Barry’s caliber...), it’s a typical formulaic book. Bad guy, good guy, evil empire, America, bla bla bla. Apparently Barry thinks we can’t tell the difference when all of his books are the same. What he doesn’t understand is that we buy these books for something to temporarily occupy our minds, not to learn something profound. We all know how it will end. Given this, there’s plenty of fiction fodder for us to read at $15 a pop that doesn’t insult our intelligence. Or our President.
