Maybe the addition of the special force teams put it closer to a Rollins/Cussler book?

Well, I finished Bones of Angels by Christopher Forrest and though it was interesting, it's not like an earlier Cussler. I think all the scene changes with the different actions going on by the various groups of characters would do better as a script for a movie - a techno-thriller due to the special teams having enhanced abilities due to nano technology. I'm still thinking about it, so there must have been something that I liked about it; I just don't know how to describe it. Would I have paid for it? No, but if it was a book for a dollar at the discount store, I would have thought it was a fun little read to pass the time.

I haven't settled on what to read next. Maybe, I will try his other free book that I picked up - Savage Bay or go back and try to restart Bloodlines by James Rollins.
