Six years after Chernobyl's nuclear meltdown, a violence-prone environmentalist group with government ties secretly plans a second such disaster, and only the November Man can stop them. 22,500 first... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Well you should know that I've read all the November Man novels. I love this series (wish there were more). Granger's plots suck you in, as did this one. Read all of them if you can find them. It's worth a trip to the library for the ones out of print.
A Light, Easy to Read Book

This had it all, a great story, good characters, wonderful action and a quick pace. This is an exciting book that at its heart is a conspiracy theory. Ok the story is almost not believable, but if you close one eye and get into it you will have fun. Not a bad little page-turner. I liked the story line; the whole aggressive and violent environmentalist group was believable given what is going on in the field today. The book presented this group very well. It did not present them as some whacked out bunch of crazies but as a very determined and dedicated bunch. The book sneaks up on you and really sucks you in. You find your self almost hurrying to the next page because the suspense builds through to the end of the book. Very good characters with competent development and well thought out roles within the story. I would have liked a bit more detail on the locations. The ending was also a good one - you are expecting something close, but the author has come up with something better. Overall, this was a great effort by the author.
Top notch entry in unjustly underestimated, neglected series

Granger's November Man, Devereaux, is a worthy citizen of the world inhabited by Phillip Marlowe, Sam Spade, Harry Palmer, Travis McGee and George Smiley; men apart, men who live by their own strict code in a world without rules. In Henry McGee (hommage to John D. MacDonald?) he has found his Karla, his Blofeld, his Moriarty. Granger's writing is muscular, his plotting crisp and his eye for character and detail impressive. Read the whole series, if you can find it. You won't regret it
