(4) YA While on vacation in the Caribbean, Martin and his family are kidnapped. They're held hostage by terrorists whose goal is to thrust the state-sponsored corporate ravaging of their homeland onto an international stage. The dual narrative structure (Martin's father's post-captivity book vs. Martin's own memories) and implausibly solicitous captors mute the suspense in this action-driven yet overly pensive novel.
Reviewer: Claire E. Gross
