Beaucoup d'action dans ce thriller. Un peu comme dans un film de James Bond, les personnages sont plus grands que nature, et l'intrigue tout à fait incroyable, mais si on se laisse prendre au jeu, le roman se lit en moins de deux. Étrangement, dans ce contexte, l'histoire d'amour est tout à fait crédible. C'est la magie de la fiction.
