Into the Thinnest of Air

February 1, 2017
Ishmael Jones, an alien operative of the top-secret British organization known only as the Organization, is sent off to Loch Ness, where the shadowy and powerful Baphamet Groupor the Bilderburg Group, as Ishmael describes itis holding its annual conference. He's taking over the duties of head of security for the conference, and his first job is to find out who killed a young Organization operative who had been assigned to the conference and to determine whether there's a spy lurking in the background. Ishmael is a wonderful character, an extraterrestrial living among humans, and the series (this is the third installment) is a clever mixture of thriller and SF-horror genres. Green is best known for the Deathstalker space operas, but give this one a few more installments to develop, and it could well become Green's masterwork.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2017, American Library Association.)
