Query: Disappointing read

Having read 2 other Brad Thor books featuring the Scot Horvath character and thoroughly enjoying them I was looking forward to Blowback. I must say I was greatly disappointed. The plot could have been interesting, but got far too bogged down and complicated, and sometimes lost in the author's attempt to educate readers on the real life history behind the plot. Add to that the constant "Mission Impossible" escapes from certain death by the protagonist that would have left Clive Cussler shaking his head, I found myself anxious for the book to end. I will give Brad Thor another try I am sure, but can't recommend this as a must read to anyone.
