The pacing is awful. There is minimal tension until the final 70 pages, and even then the stakes feel weirdly low. The dialogue is wooden and filled with jargon, as with the previous book in the series. Technical details, like the precise model of anti-aircraft missile used etc, might be interesting to aviation fiends or military history buffs but for everyone else (me) it’s just boring filler.

Great book and I can tell a lot of effort was put into getting the facts right. The piloting/astronaut scenes were the best portions of the book, it was easy to tell that the author was most interested in those portions. It is a good book, but I wouldn’t say that it is a frontrunner of the genre. It is a very stereotypical military thriller.
