Publisher Description
A brand-new heart-pounding technothriller from Keith Thomson, acclaimed author of ONCE A SPY.
Russ Thornton is a hard-hitting journalist known for his ability to take on big targets in government and in business. An old flame, now a Capitol Hill staffer, contacts him out of the blue wanting to disclose some top-secret information. But she is gunned down in cold blood, right in front of him. Worse, the killers are concerned about what Thornton knows, and who he may tell. He finds himself in a game of cat-and-mouse, where the stakes are life and death and the surveillance technology is so sophisticated that he wouldn’t believe it existed—if it weren't implanted in his own head.
Customer Reviews
Enjoyable, even if not fully believable
I really enjoyed reading this book, in spite of the fact that a reporter/blogger somehow knows more about spy craft, detection systems, infrared scanners, Zodiac boats, and facial recognition systems than James Bond would.
Seven grams of lead
Just ok - too many characters, lack of depth, barely believable
Very enjoyable read
7 Grams was quite enjoyable, and well put together. For me, Thomson did a great job of employing enough plausibility into the story to leave you thinking that it may not be too far from fictional. A handful of scenes were completely impossible, but that's part of what makes a good story as well. Isn't the impossible what makes James Bond films so great?
All in all, a very enjoyable read that kept me hanging on, wondering what would happen next!
