I've been enjoying Brad Thor's books, but my interest slacked in this one. I found it difficult to stay connected to the stories and the introduction of the Athena team made it difficult to keep up with the multiple characters in the story. His books tend to follow parallel stories and then neatly tie them together near the end of the book. The tie-in in Foreign Influence was not as clean as in some of his other books. The story was full of intrigue and interesting characters, but this was not one of my favorite books in his collection.
