Another tough novel to rate. I thought there was going to be a lot more emphasis on swimming, diving, and Olympic trials. There was some of that, but not as much as the cover leads one to expect. Then for several chapters I just didn't know where this book was going. I got a little bogged down and bored by all the political discussions. But, finally, the book takes off on this rather unbelievable (but kind of fun) adventure of espionage and diamond smuggling.
