Absolutely another great thriller except the ending. This is the second Flynn book in a row that I have read that needed a better ending. Up until the ending I was ready to give this book a five star plus. Flynn had me so drawn into the book that I actually was in a hurry for the bad guys to get discovered and punished, but Flynn was too concerned about his next novel to give this one a proper ending.
When writing my first novel, al-Qaeda Strikes Again, one of my proof readers said that I should give my book a better ending and not worry about setting up a beginning for my next book which is what Flynn did in Act of Treason. The most important parts of a novel are the beginning and the ending. When Flynn tries to bridge the ending of one book into the beginning of his next book then he robs the reader even if the reader reads all his books in order, but it was even worst than that as the ending was wham bam that's it! Part on the ending for this book is the beginning of Protect and Defend: A Thriller and in that book the beginning has no connection with the rest of the book.
The ending in this book was the worst that I have read in an otherwise fabulous thriller.
