Query: Not what it was cracked up to be

This was an unfortunately shallow book with inadequate character and plot development, feeling more like a storyboard than a novel. The newly introduced Mike Bennett is a seasoned officer with a human face who could go places in the future if only the writing would take him there. Better to write fewer solid books with some depth than a spate of predictable, disappointing ones.
