As usual from Harris it's an enjoyable thriller, the last quarter dropped a little into a Hollywood cliche, but it was never going to be perfect (ie he's never been better than Fatherland and Enigma, so more WWII please!)
Love the suspense and the luxurious Swiss setting. This was written years ago, so I guessed the culprit correctly quite early on. Entertaining, with a solid cast of characters, though not as engrossing as The Ghost.
Interesting extrapolation on the dangers of artificial intelligence. Could have been a quicker read and made more believable by eliminating some of the unstopped antics of Alex. The market data and detail were spot on. A freaky possibility.
