Sounds interesting, I'll put it on my TBR list.

I've sampled The Corporal's Wife and didn't like the writing and the characters.

I've read both series and I liked them. Too bad that Vince Flynn passed away.

I've read one of them and IMHO his books aren't as good as Vince Flynn's books.

I liked the first one, too, and stopped reading the series after the second one.

I've read all John Corey books and I actually enjoyed the wisecracking, however, the later books, though usually well researched and written, often have plots that are a bit too predictable.
