However, I was taken back when I read on Pg. 9 Chapter 2 that the author has written: "Cindad del Este was a godless place. Chinese, Mexicans, Colombians, Syrians, Lebanese, Palestinians, Eurotrash, Russian thugs and every other sort of reprobates roamed its streets". This sounds like a very racist remark. Being a Chinese, I find this remark rather insulting as the author are comparing Chinese to Eurotrash, Russian mobs and insinuate that Chinese, Mexicans and most other non-European races are reprobate and godless!! It looks like minority races in US especially Chinese and Mexicans are often regarded as reprobates roaming the streets.

“A good tale of good versus evil, but I wish the author would take a few grammar lessons or get an editor who would correct his mistakes !
Myriad means many, therefore Mr. Flynn should not use : " a myriad of..." He could choose to correctly use : " The myriad ways..." etc.
Also, he annoys me when he changes verb tenses incorrectly, grrrrr :O) and my all time bugaboo...
" A parent knows their child" ...aaieeieiee " A parent knows HIS child"”
“waiting for his next book.”

If I am ever caught by terrorists I want to see Mitch Rapp's human equivalent come and save me. Flynn does a nice job building intensity and bringing it all together at the end. Glad Flynn signed on for four more books.”
