Apunta't a LibraryThing per saber si aquest llibre et pot agradar. No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. I received a free copy of this book via Goodreads FirstReads, in exchange for an honest review. Not bad for your typical action/thriller novel. I did miss the sci-fi elements that the first two novels had. This one was more a straight up thriller. We finally get to know more about the mysterious Angel, but I wished her character had been developed a bit more. The book includes all the action you'd expect, including the obligatory sex scenes. Not an instant classic, but certainly entertaining when you want a little action in your summer reading list. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

To save an innocent friend, soldier and spy Jim Chapel will risk his own life and reputation to stop a deadly conspiracy from threatening the country in this relentless, non-stop action adventure from the author of the acclaimed thrillers Chimera and The Hydra Protocol. Jim Chapel pledged his life to protect his country from its enemies. But now, the one-armed Special Forces soldier turned spy is on the wrong side of the law. The person he trusts most in the world, the brilliant hacker known only as Angel, is suspected of terrorism. When his boss calls for Angel's arrest, Chapel--certain it's a frame job--has only one option: to go rogue. To protect Angel--a woman he's never actually met--Chapel must clear her name. But first he has to find her, before a deadly Marine sniper, a drone aircraft gone feral, and the entire intelligence community closes in. With the aid of old friends and his ex-lover Julia, the search to find who framed Angel leads Chapel deep into the dark and lethal underbelly of the covert intelligence world . . . to a conspiracy with deep roots that shocks even this hardened veteran--and a plan that will destroy the United States as we know it if it succeeds.

Just like the previous books, it is good written page-turner. At the same time an attempt to knit up all previously loose ends sometimes leads to unnatural to the point of ridiculousness drama. It is, in my opinion made worse by attempts to make it more cinematic with worn-out clichés like stopping a bomb at the very last second. It is astonishing how the author is able to mix such blinders and some quite serious massages like the problems of army veterans with PTSD and the like.
Overall a nice grande finale for the trilogy, albeit a bit US-centric.
