Mission Critical by Mark Greaney
More Gray Man or Violator or Sierra Six. Mostly Violator in this one. Courtland is heading back to the US on a CIA plane when naturally everything goes wrong. The plane is ambushed in England and the other passenger is kidnapped. This leads to a chase and the constant question of what is going on. Back in the US, Court's girlfriend Zoya, former member of the Russian Spy agency escapes from a safe house just as it is about to be raided. Is she fleeing the CIA or is she on the hunt for something?
More gun fights and regular fights and surprise appearances and it reaches a head at castle on Loch Ness. It's like an even more screwed up James Bond. I'm glad to see Court has missions now rather than just being on the run. The characterizations are a bit cardboard but I'm starting to enjoy these improbable thrillers. Needs more of the humor of Matt Helm.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
