Summary: Is California Doomed?
Comment: It would seem that the dashing, all-intelligent, all-powerful male protagonist might be passe. Ken Follett now shows up with a courageous, smart, female FBI agent who makes her fellow male agents look like self serving, incompetent idiots. Would this have been the character set up in an FBI story of 10 years ago? If J. Edgar Hoover hears about this he will be doing some serious rotating in his grave.
Can the terrorists fulfill their threat to create California earthquakes if their demands are not met? It would seem they could, although Judy Maddox's brainless fellow agents scoff and publicly embarrass her. Well we all know what will happen don't we?
It's a fun ride though, and I enjoyed it. As someone who lived for years in the San Francisco area I had an extra pleasure in seeing if a British writer would make any mistakes describing northern California. He did pretty well, making only a few trifling errors.
Recommended as an OK time passer, although I still think Follett's best books were his first ones.

Rating: 4
Summary: very interesting story
Comment: THis is a slight departure from Follett's other books. It's not about a particular event in history, it's not a spy novel. To be honest, it reminds me of a James Patterson cat and mouse type of book from his earlier days.
As usual, i won't give away any plot points other than a cop you can't help rooting for and a villain who you hate (but can sympathize with) match whits in a battle of high stakes!
The method of crime employed by the villain is odd at first, but as the chapters go by, the characters and events suck the reader in pretty strongly.
Definetly worth checking out.
