Sanction

I hadn't read a spy thriller in years, and forgot how fun they can be! I read this in basically one day, so the pacing is perfect for a thriller. But, this is Hunter's debut novel, so it's a little rough around the edges. There are a couple chapters where one character just explains everything that's going on to another character in order to reveal details to the reader. And about 7 or 8 times a character thinks something along the lines of “Once I finish this task, I'll be out of the country before anyone's the wiser!” Which was either an inside joke by the author, or clumsy foreshadowing.

Overall, a fun read. I'll definitely try one of his other novels next time I'm in the mood for a thriller.
