A really fun and entertaining read. Watts does a really good job of creating the spy vibes right from the beginning as Colt McShane, a former Naval surface officer, who has a by chance run in with an Israeli beauty not once but twice. Then his world changes. Spies, moles, and Artificial Intelligence will satisfy your thirst as a thriller fan!
The story is a seamless timeline with minimal jumping around from past to present if that is something that you aren’t a fan of. The characters are given plenty of time for you to start to get to know them and be able to make some connections with them. This isn’t the kind novel that gets you emotionally connected to a favorite character, this is more of a subdued not as over-the-top that Bond can be, but with a flair of Bourne with the misdirection that we’re accustomed to. McShane is a very likable character whom you want to gain a bond with but the ending left the door open for us to get to know him more in the future. Watts artistic ability has this performing as a very intriguing and believable storyline. The ending unfolded just as you would expect, pure chaos. I loved it. Watts creates a constantly evolving AI nightmare while multiple nations are trying to steal his creation from right under his nose.
