Superb escapist book! The action is heart-stopping. You keep muttering to yourself, "What else could possibly happen? and before the thought is completely formed, Scarecrow is shouting orders, saving someone, or taking a chance that should be impossible. But this story isn't just action (although the action is so non-stop, I could live with that alone). The plots are always complex to the point where you have to pay attention. International in flavor, the plots offer lots of political insights and a wider range of characters. If you want literature, go to the classics. If you want excitement and a protagonist who never gives up and is constantly and successfully thrashing the odds, give Scarecrow a chance. It's a lot of money for a Kindle book, so I'll try to compare it to something for you. There are definitely flavors of John Gilstrap's Jonathon Grave and Lee Child's Jack Reacher. All three authors have bold side characters who constantly add to the stories. You become as attached to them as much as the main characters. Hope this helps you decide!
