Dante Jacoby is a slave to the trappings of the modern world. Twenty-six years old and hopelessly addicted to booze, cigarettes, and procrastination, he’s squandered every ounce of his potential.

Not my cup of tea
Almost didn't finish this one. Started out great but half way through went off kilter and the ending was . . . a bit out there. It's a 'boys' story, with a superhero, terrorists, guns, bombs, blood and guts, splattering of brain matter and aliens! Not a thriller under my definition, more a James bond meets Spiderman meets Indiana Jones! I can see its appeal for the audience that kind of story appeals to, but not for me thanks!
