Extremely slow-moving, and not that suspenseful or interesting. I bailed out at chapter 9. Life is too short for books that make you wonder why on earth you are reading them.
I loved his Pillars of the Earth series, but I hate to say this but this is a 'guys' book all the way...politics, war, betrayal, spies, not a thing I usually read. Wonder why he did it since that loses about 50% of possible sales. And it didn't help that he made the American President a woman, that felt like he did it because he realized it was through and through a guys book and threw a hook in there for the women. I got through it, and it should be said he is still a good writer, but this book wasn't at all what I was looking for from him. I can't recommend it to someone else. Better at the historical fiction I say! And way too long for the story line. It could have been half the size.
