Query: Blah: Boring and plodding

THis book is a poor addition to the series. It is dull and most of it is spent on pointless exposition. The characters are not nearly as interesting as in the other books, or even other Flint series. Sharon getting involved with some old Spanish guy months after her husband bought the farm is a stupid plot point. Especially since the guy is about 40 years older than her and from a country technically at war with hers.Waste of time!
