The over-the-top plot, which is basically a comic book that demonizes the Chinese pointlessly and pits one heroic (American) woman against impossible odds over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again, isn't the worst thing about this ridiculous book. That would be the writing itself, loaded with needless adjectives and repetition and cartoon-ish dialogue and descriptions. I don't think I'll ever read another by Matthew Reilly.
