Some scenes even makes your heart pounding so fast.

For me, I think I remember getting tensed and all worked-up whenever the spies were in motion. I held my breath whenever they spy because you'll never know what will happen to them on the other side and if they will make it back on their side. Such heart-pounding moments for me. The romantic twist did not impress me though since I am not keen on romance.

Same here! Stealing the book that contains the code really draws me to the scene.

I agree that the part where Yvette was supposed to steal the book was the most thrillng one. Especially when she disappeared and they couldn't find her after that, I felt genuine concern.

The Yvette part definitely carries the day. But anytime they went out spying and on missions the thrill and suspense just keeps the reader on toes.

Me too, I even thinking that Yvette might be their hostage when she is missing. Greg really good at making thrilling scenes.

I noticed that, too. I even said, making it faster before John Keppler awaken from drunkenness. It's me to Keep on going for it's not a movie. :lol:

A great advantage is when an enemy snores so loudly. :lol:

Latest Review: Mobius by Garon Whited

Post by timd »

I was tense right from the beginning of the book where Jamie was trapped by fire from an Italian machine gunner. The appearance of Jacko on the scene, despite the hostile fire, was relieving but also slightly comical because he was almost jovial and also called Jammie "Cap," short for Captain, although Jamie was a Lieutenant at the time. The settings for romance were tense but the ladies were often supposed to be hardened "ladies of the night," in the underground of Cairo, and belly dancers. Most of the scenes involving Jamie, in particular, were almost sweet because of his innate shyness with women. I think most of the scenes regarding romance were a bit timid. In reality, ladies working from the conditions that they were working from would probably be more sexually open and would probably tease him more than they did in the novel. Although I enjoyed the book, I got the impression that it was written for a younger audience because both the violence and the romance was remarkably timid or mild compared to a lot of books set in similar circumstances.

I didn't think it that way before! I barely noticed that those aspects were mild enough for a younger audience.

I love reading everyone else's thoughts. I am a lover of both romance and action, but I almost feel as if this book might be too predictable. I haven't read it all the way through yet, but so far I've seen a few twists coming. I do agree it may have been intended for a younger audience.

The scene that stuck to me the most is when Jacko and Jaime pretended to let Matt and Karl escape when they were in an area where there is no water in seven miles radius. This scene made me laugh so hard 😂😂
