dsrtao_Ghost Country_, Patrick Lee
In Lee's debut novel, _The Breach_, fifty pages of competent thriller led into a
taut book full of ideas and action in equal measure. This is the sequel. While
technically it could be read by itself, I wouldn't recommend it.
Sometimes thrillers are described as roller coaster rides. This isn't. This book
is like a rocket launch: any pauses are purely to position the next stage to
fire.
Oh, the book is about saving the world from a reasonably believable
supervillain. In retrospect, I have some doubts about how the requisite
conspiracy was convinced that any of the plans were a good idea... but my
disbelief was happily suspended during the read.
