THE AGENT by MARK DAWSON

"....4 relatively short books in this series and you really need to treat them as a single novel or you will be left rather disappointed as each part ends without a conclusion. Alas, this is becoming a common but disappointing practice among Kindle book publishers. Pope, our co-star, is a government security specialist who tries to unravel apparent conspiracy and deceit by senior people in government. He faces one impossible situation after another as even his closest family get embroiled in the affairs. Isabella Rose proves to be a surprisingly able accomplice - a girl with an intriguing upbringing. The series is well worth the read...." "... exciting encounters which like the majority of Mark's recent publications made for good reading and a genuine desire to turn the page,however I felt the continuity from the previous episodes was not quite as believable as is normally the case,i.e the terrorist bomb at the airport didn't really fit with the rest of the story unlike the London bombing from Book 2 which was so real and so graphically portrayed.Pope's escape at the end and being reunited with his family could have been developed over many more pages....." "Enjoyable to a point, but too long winded, and boring, too much repetition of technical data, not enough action, building Isabellas capabilities up so high, then she keeps messing everything up, its all promise and no follow up, I take her age into consideration, but the author builds her up to something she is not, amazing how author stretched one viable book..."

한편의 영화를 본 듯한 느낌의 책이다. 다양한 인물과 다양한 지역이 나오기 때문에 초반에는 좀 이해하는데 힘들 수도 있지만 계속 읽으면 재밌는 책이라는 것을 알 수 있다. 세상은 넓고 재밌는 책은 많은거 같다. 개인적으로 느낀점은 이 작가는 드라마나 영하로 만들것을 고려하면서 이 책을 쓰지 않았을까 하는 생각을 했다. 스케일도 크고 시사적인 내용들이 이야기의 주를 이루는 책이었다. 대중적인 독자들을 생각해서 그런지 문장이나 표현이 무난하다. 재밌게 읽었다.
