Jungle Girl Book

Quality of this series has definitely been on a downhill slide for the last 4 novels. Without Mercy is moderately better than the last three, but not by much.

Reading about Sean Dillon flying about with one or two other people in a near supersonic (972 km/h) Citation X jet sipping champagne whilst calling home base on his magical codex secure mobile phone to look up the next plot development in "cyberspace" has certainly devalued the thrill of this espionage thriller series.

Gone are the days of standing in the rain at a street corner, properly tailing people and proper hard work. Now it's all just call Roper and have him look it up on the computer, or use this handy pre-arranged plane/car/boat. It's all just a bit silly really; you can tolerate a certain amount of deviation from reality in fiction but when everything starts verging on fantasy in a supposed 'real life' book I find my interest waning.

If I didn't already own books 14-18 I wouldn't be bothered to buy them after the quality level of the last four books. I really hope it improves, either that or I get trapped in an airport with no alternative but to read them or die of boredom... either/or really.
