Yeah, it's when it took a turn for the more James Bondy kind of thing that I started losing interest. The last I read, they had just arrived in Asia to find the guy.

I like it when he geeks out on details. Like the road going through North Dakota that follows the longitude lines, and jogs at 90 degrees to the left suddenly for a few hundred yards to account for the curvature of the earth, and one of the characters drives off the road there. That kind of thing is cool.
