The Sigma team books in general follow the same pattern and this one is kind of funny that it references Zero point energy (ZPE) which I recently learned about in Unacknowledged. The story overall does a great job of working through all the items that it introduces.

Steven Greer's reliance on repetition of an individuals credentials and work history, single source stories, and boogeymen in the night make this book feel like a conman's playground.

The themes do not change, assassin who lost his memory meets a woman who helps him and they fall in love. The second book there is a massive change in the story as far as location, but someone claiming to be him still is there. Then in book three it comes back to being basically the same theme.

The story is wonderful. Very full, rich, and deep of background. The descriptions of the politics and the back and forth is so twisty and turning that some of the scenes are still talked about as the biggest surprises around, for instance: The Red Wedding, Death of Sean Bean, and others.

Brad Thor does a fantastic job of taking something currently culturally relevant and applying some shade to those events, but uses enough fiction to make it not completely true story. The gun fights, story structure, and overall entertainment are well done enough.
Books
Andy Weird admittedly missed the mark on this book. The overall story is well told, but the characters just constantly make stupid decisions and never make an effort to correct their thinking even after they say they are going to make changes. The book also feels just a little too long.
Books
This book provides an interesting idea, but honestly fails to deliver what could be an awesome universe. There are consistent moments in the book that should be serious, that are under cut by silly writing and a silly character.
Books
A sleeper of a book. A read that keeps you entertained with vivid imagery and great science. Paolini does a great job of expanding on true theoretical physics. He does a fantastic job of take what should be an inanimate parasite and giving it life. Pun intended when you read the book.

This book has an interesting take on the history of the Catholic church that I feel could be plausible. I am not saying that there is a secret cabal of people in the church trying to become immortal, but I will say that priest are human like everyone else.
Books
This book does a great job with the description of technology, places, and cultures, but this book feels like a .5 in the series. For instance, the first book The Last Sword Maker has a great full story of events, where this one felt like a filler almost an entire book that is a filler episode.
