To finish off the short series of Ted Bell books, I labored through The Spy.
The Spy is essentially bringing back the same characters from the first three books to fight the latest absurdish combination of bad guys.
Throw in a bunch of Arab terrorists and have them attack the United States through Mexico with a bunch of Mexican nationalists who want to take the southern staes back and you have yourself an interesting recipe for mediocrity and absurdity.
The writing is good ... if not safe and predictable.
IT is another long and enjoyable read, but I can't help but wonder if there is another formula in the world besides this one.
