SOOO disappointed in this book. I quit after a fourth of the way through. I’ve read most of his books and eagerly await each new publication. I enjoy his writing style, the historical and geographical facts he weaves into his interesting storylines. This book however was over the top in a bad way. Too much history, blatant expression of his political views and included sexual scenes that were well, basically vulgar. Not what I was expecting or wanting to read. I expected better from Greg Iles.
