DeAndrea has at least 3 series of books. One is the adventures of Professor Bennedetti & his sidekicks which is quite clever and amusing. Another is about the exploits of Matt Cobb, a TV Executive. But, this book is from the 3rd series about reluctant spy "Driscoll." I'm not that into spy novels, so you might like this better than I did. This is the 2nd one in the series, a sequel to the 1st, Cronus. I liked it better than "Cronus" maybe worth 3.5 stars. I was going to give it a 4 since it has some cleverness in it, but the ending seemed too far-fetched to me. I like it when an author ties up loose ends, but...Some of the characters seemed to act so out-of-character. Try his other series, they're IMHO much better. I've read 2 Bennedetti's including the accaimed The Hog Murders (Ipl Library of Crime Classics) and one of the Cobb books KILLED IN FRINGE TIME: A Matt Cobb Mystery which wasn't the award-winner Killed In The Ratings either. Have fun!
