=Evaluation= I liked this book alot. Although it was very long I love books with this much action. I love the complicaded spots the caricters were often in, and the large story this book is based on. I would not recommend this book to any middle school student because of adult content. =Links= CIAJason works for Treadstone 71 and that is linked with other government agencies, like this one.
