Just finished it and agree it wasn't his best. Still entertaining, but drags a bit in the middle. Also, not sure why he published separate prologue and epilogue on iBooks - that was a little strange.



About now I'm starting to miss Vince Flynn.

Hidden Order just felt like Thor was trying to do his best Glenn Beck meets Dan Brown impression. Combine that with him essentially retiring Horvath and relegating him to an office job, and it was just *blah* for me. If not for the connection to the character forged over the previous novels, I would say it sucked. The one positive? Thor's introduction of his next protagonist who I assume will be replacing Horvath now that Horvath has aged beyond excitement.

Agreed. I've read all the Lee Child and Vince Flynn books and enjoyed every second. In the Sci-fi arena I recommend Psion Beta and Psion Gamma. If you're into thriller military stories the best one I've read to date is Lone Survivor.



Happy hunting!
