Very interesting subject, this could have been a great story. Unfortunately, most of the characters are little more than stereotypes, and everything and everyone is pretty much painted in black and white.

SPOILER.
There are no grey areas. The good guys are super-duper-really-I-mean-it uber-good (and geniuses, and millionaires and pretty much infallible), while the bad guys are corrupt, stupid, bumbling about and get duped again and again.
Which also leads to a definite lack of suspension, because it seems clear pretty early in the story that this is not a fight between equals. So the outcome is pretty much a given.

Why do I rate this book 2/5 if I didn't care for it much?
Some of the characters were actually likeable (if stereotypes) and had a couple of good lines. And the writing wasn't as bad as it could have been, I have read worse, although the proof-reading could have been better.
It's not a good sign when typos and mistakes are able to distract the reader from the actual story.
