ABLE DANGER, the novel (Book) - 3/2/2010 6:51:20 PM
As far as the world of espionage and suspense go, Able Danger delivers a character, Court Harrison-006 who is able to meet the demands of his job as an agent head on. Court is depicted as a man who knows what he needs and commands those around him with authority. Though similar to James Bond, Court's style is different, setting him apart from his world-known co-agent.
Roth's portrayal of the anonymous suburban family is brilliant and clever, using everyday tasks to define the significance of the incident. They are simply pawns in a much larger, more terrifying game.
Though not the most emotionally descriptive novel, Roth sets the general mood of the scene through simple description. The straight-forward delivery of the sequence of events reads almost like a report, enforcing the formalness and purpose of each action.
I look forward to reading what lies in store for agent 006.
