Thrillers written by authors such as da Silva, Steinhauer or le Carre are literary and psychological masterpieces. A middle tier of thriller writers can provide an entertaining read. Outside of these two groups, there’s a much lower tier of writers, who think dropping lists of random military hardware thrown into a blender with standard plot devices and mashed up, cardboard characters running around doing random, implausible things somehow makes a good read. This is the latter.
