He is very interesting, with well thought out and executed characters. But it almost seems his books are written so that MacLean comes up with a good twist ending, and then writes the whole book coming up with ways to throw you off the track from his twist ending. They are good fun reads, but it always seems like something is missing... This is a book of Cold War intrigue but not a book to keep you up late to read the next chapter. To steal plans from a lab in eastern Europe, you would expect an elite team to be sent in or at least a James Bond. In this story, they are sending in a circus. The first thing I noticed was that the author was getting rid of characters fairly soon, narrowing the field for heroes. The main character is an aerialist and mentalist whose feats are far-fetched and greatly exaggerated. I find the character unlikable. The main female character is an inept CIA agent, chosen for her looks rather than her intelligence. It's an easy read and might even be considered a YA yarn. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
