I'm a huge fan of Greg Iles' books. He's a very gripping writer. Usually grabs your attention from the first paragraph. His Penn Cage character is my favorite. But Greg has placed too much political views into this book. I'm 25 pages in, and I'm about ready to put it down. But since I don't waste my hard earned money, I will push on and try to ignore his political views. Mr. Iles! Please don't push your political views on your vast readers. We pay for you to entertain us, not indoctrinate us with your beliefs.
