This book has potential even though the theme is a bit far fetched. What marks it down to two stars for me is the gratuitous sex descriptions. If I wanted to read about that kind of behavior I would buy that kind of book. I buy and read action books because I want to read about action, and not the kind that occurs in bedrooms
