Crichton has a lot of exposition and sometimes it's a little clunky why there's characters explaining to one another something that is common knowledge with the group experiencing whatever the story is about. You should expect this in the book.

I thought that this had a similar pattern to Disclosure in some ways. Something wonky happened with a high-tech product and the protagonist has to find the right people to get information that makes the pieces fit together despite management setting you up to fail. The specifics of the friction and trouble are different of course, in one it is sexual harassment shenanigans and in this one it is union trouble and EVPs fighting for more money.

I thought it was alright, the murder attempt being kind of brushed off as union hijinks was a little off putting. I'd read disclosure over this one though.
