Eliana is intent on infiltrating MI-6, seemingly to stop Mason Treadik, who is intent on creating an army of the perfect assassins, mainly the poor souls I mentioned earlier. There is more than a whiff of James Bond about Havelocke, but Ms. Everly seems to enjoy turning the cliches on their ears. She has a deft hand with action, and the plotting is tight. Her third person prose is solid, but as Havelocke it sings. This doesn't seem like it’s going to be a deep book, but so far it’s a ton of fun, full of energy and wit, and I expect that I’ll be sitting on the edge of seat for the next couple of months.
