I have two confessions to make.
1. I listened to this book on audio. It's 11 discs with over 12 hours of listening material. The narrator, a professional actor, is actually quite good.
2. I found this through an update I received stating that one of my "Goodreads friends" had read this book. For some odd reason, I thought it was non-fiction. At this point, I couldn't tell you why I thought it was NF, except that for I saw "Helios" and my mind initially thought "Roman gods and godesses." I think I ...more

Andy Fisher is a coffee drinking, cigarette smoking curmudgeon and an FBI agent, who learns that is ex-girlfriend and the love of his life has been murdered at a convention featuring a new satellite based solar technology. The book takes you into the world of the energy business, a profit-driven, cut throat, international competiation to tap the world's energy sources and thereby control the market. While fiction one has to wonder if there might not be a grain of truth in the story. Defelice

Jim DeFelice does a good job of telling the reader an entertaining read.
It was an involved story, and there are a lot of characters involved with rockets and energy, and intrigue from Chinese and Russian spies.
Murders and terrorist acts against the energy grid keep Andy Fisher, an excellent but not the best liked FBI agent, on his toes and traveling from coast to coast. Andy manages to smoke his Camel cigarettes and eat at diners while solving all the threads in the related crimes.

This book was really a fun read (or listen as I listened to the audiobook). The main character is a chain-smoking, coffee drinking FBI agent who is a bit of a renegade. He butts into a case that the FBI wasn't supposed to be involved in because it was the murder of his ex-girlfriend. The story involves Russian agents, a hedge fund operator, some rocket scientists and a visionary who hopes to harvest energy from the sun using satellites (great idea if practicable).

Great book! Coffee drinkin, cigarette smokin, sarcastic, independently stubborn FBI agent Andy Fisher wades through evidence and ever-changing circumstances to find the truth about the murder of a former girlfriend. but that's just the beginning!! This is a must read for crime and mystery lovers. I received the book for free through Goodreads First Reads.

Oh so special (he smokes camels, dresses in jeans and ignores his bosses) fbi special agent Andy Fisher is on the case when his ex-girlfriend comes up a murder. She was a big wig at a company ready to launch a satellite that will solve the energy crisis. Chinese & Russian spies are in the mix
