Hidden Empire by Kevin J. Anderson

I'll definitely be continuing with this series, it's got potential.

I haven't been able to pick up a Kevin Anderson book since Lethal Exposure. (And, I wasn't able to finish that one - it's one of the only books that I literally threw across the room. It was so full of inaccuracies and BS that I just couldn't bring myself to finish it.) Note to authors: if you're going to write a book set at my workplace (and you have a couple of local people show you around before you write it), at least try to make things accurate.

Yeah, that's why I say it's got potential. Any author can screw up, and honestly, just looking at the titles of some of what KJA has done, it's clear he can write utter crap. This is the first of his books I've actually read though, and it seems to have a pretty decent universe and the pacing and suspense is pretty good.

He'll have to keep it up, but the first book makes me think it'll be worth picking up the second.
