Review of 'Toys' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

The blurb gave this as a crossover between Bourne and Bond. While some of the machismo was more the latter, the plot lacks much of the depth and complexity of Bourne. Things aren't ever as they seem, but an over-reliance on clones, a rather-too-obvious ending, and some silliness in a few of the action scenes mean I'm giving it a three.
