It did keep me engaged but I wasn't really into it. The James Bond subtext was fun, particularly as we saw the Lazenby Bond over the weekend. When Bob Howard goes to a conference in Germany (and I laughed my way through his experiences with the Smart Car on the Autobahn) he's on the beginning of an adventure that will link him to a beautiful assassin and will require a lot of acceptance on his part.
Enjoyable but not really my cup of tea. Eldritch horrors from the deep really aren't my thing.
