Title: Agent 21: Codebreaker
Series: Agent 21 - 3rd book
Author: Chris Ryan
Read Before: no
Comments: Codebreaker did not have the same impact as Reloaded did, however, this is still a fantastic book, nothing less than what you’d expect from Chris Ryan. Zak is back and this time the story is set in London, where there is a merciless bomber targeting the innocents, committing mass murder. Woven into the story is the theme of codes, hiding messages in plain sight. This spices up the story and makes it more interesting, especially as the story is slowly revealed piece by piece, until the mastermind comes into light. While the plot is solid, it isn’t as clever as some of the author’s other works. It can also feel messy with the introduction of a character in the beginning, then kinda forgotten by the characters only to be brought back out again because the story required his skills. A fun read but it leaves a lingering taste in that it could have been so much more.
Rating: 6/10
