It is just a story. The characters were likeable. The settings were believable. It did not seem like a true story but it was thrilling nevertheless. Only three and a half stars were awarded in this review because it was not necessarily believable. ( ) What I liked most about this book is the fact that it is a female, Letty Davenport, who is the hero along with a group of other women all with skills that are important in shoot-outs and hunting for people. Letty and Baxter are sent to try and infiltrate a group called Ordinary People who have hacked into the Russian train system and payed havoc. Things don't go well for them and so Barbara Cartwright joins them and their work moves from Ordinary People to trying to hack the train system again to prevent Russia from invading Ukraine all as a deniable project. This might be a little far-fetched but is a page-turner. It was all going so well until the very end when Davenport had sex with a man she met at her office and then we get this . . . This was inappropriate for an initial sexual episode, she thought - or rather, she later thought she thought - and she later thought she tried to say, 'Let's not go there yet,' but remembered herself, dimly saying instead. 'Ark, ark, ark,' like Sunny the Seal. p339 Oh dear. Ark, ark, ark. 1 star deducted for a really crap sex scene. It carries on but doesn't get any better with her 'drumming her heels on his lank white bachelor sheets . . .' I’ve read most of John Sandford’s books because I really appreciate his writing style. DARK ANGEL was not typical. Letty Davenport, especially her firearm ability, lead the Department of Homeland Security and NSA to get information on and stop a secret group (Ordinary People) who are trying to create monumental chaos both within the US and abroad. Claiming to be hackers, she and Baxter, her assigned partner, set off by car from Florida to California where they meet up with members of the group and people who know about them. The story begins as Russia is preparing to invade Ukraine, which is part of the story. The team is expanded as more information is discovered. There is a lot of killing (non-descriptive) and even more computer-related talk and action. The slightly descriptive sex scene at the end is totally unnecessary. Overall: Big disappointment. Letty, working for Senator Colles and Homeland Security, gets sent on a mission to infiltrate a hacker group, Ordinary People. Accompanied by hacker Rod Baxter, they cross the country making connections and working their way towards OP while knowing that the government is not telling them everything. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
