Far too many characters, in far too many locations, doing far too many things, with massive info dumps of dialogue along the way. A good editor or publisher would have cut in half the number of pages, characters, plot points, settings, etc…..Extra star for at least writing in complete sentences. Attempt it if you need a book set either in Comoros or Maldives.

A decent plot
A long book with quite a fantastic plot . Confusing at times . A few typos and loose threads . Some ridiculous conversations at midpoint . The usual rapid ending all while a little girl lies in a coma from malaria .

This is my second Fritz Galt book. A contemporary geo-political thriller, well written, with vivid decriptions of the uncommon regions where the action takes place.
I was not too fond of the constant switching of perspectives, which becomes a bit tiring.
This could be a four star novel, if it was brought down to half its size. I understand Galt self-publishes his books. A critical publisher would have forced the author to cut down the book. Independent publishing is great, but the bad side is that indie authors may use their freedom to neglect otherwise well-meant critisism.
