Garden of Beasts - Jeffrey Deaver
Meant to keep me entertained during the plane ride. Worked most of the time, except for when the dude in the row ahead of me projectile vomited and apparently didn't know enough to grab the air-sickness bag. Of course, they don't label them as to purpose any more, so perhaps dumbass thought it was some kind of trash bag or something.
Worst thing in the world, puke on a plane. The rest of the flight is a challenge for everyone else to keep from chain-hurling.
So, anyway, the book is set in pre-WWII Germany, at the time of the Berlin Olympics. There is a moderate amount of intrigue, some Stormtrooper bashing, and a really, really thin plot that gets twisted out of all recognition in the last 75 pages or so.
