Reznick is back and he’s teamed up with the FBI once more. That a bit of an unexpected turn for the character given that he was first introduced as an assassin. Now he’s forsaken his full-black operational status to team up with the FBI as a consultant? The transition isn’t logical and it’s never appropriately explained over the course of the book. It almost feels like Reznick is just going with the flow, even if that flow involves terrorists and counterespionage investigations.

I’m not entirely sure I understand the character’s career motivations, but the book makes for a compelling adventure. Bring on book #3!
