Query: Realism...who needs it?

I thought Reilly had pushed the limits of silliness with "Ice Station." At least, the level of annoyance among readers would surely prevent any further publications by this author. Alas, this was not to be. The author returns with yet another offering of acceptable literary skill combined with a total lack of research and common sense. I will say only that any reader possessing any brain activity whatever should spend their book money elsewhere. There are many excellent authors and worthy stories to entertain everyone out there. This book, like other Reilly stories, will likely leave only a bad taste among readers, and regret at time wasted reading it.
