I must admit my heart sank as I started this novel. Not only is it told in the first person John Smith is a mind reader and he can implant thoughts and pain into others, neither of which appeal to me but I soon got caught up in a rattling good plot which has some great action. Unfortunately Mr Farnsworth cannot sustain it and despite various locations and some good actions scenes it gets extremely wearing to constantly hear Smith moaning about the price he will have to pay for some of his mind control actions,He seems to be a bit of a one trick pony with none of the smarts I have come to expect in action heroes. Would definitely recommend to anyone who loves a fast past thriller brilliant read couldn't put the book down.
