After Sidney Krogh spoke with the president early in the morning about his dream, he is now on a flight to Orlando, Florida, to see an FBI agent and to grieve with John Musselman's family. Brad Tucker, who has been undercover with ATF, disguised as Goofy, had tempered with the security of the hotel that Sidney lodged in. He aimed to leak the secret or rather the plans of Russians. Commander Dimitri Smirnov is coming on a ship with Soviet weapons and a deadly virus that had killed most of its Wagner Group members. Sidney believes the Wagner Group is on payback time to Sidney due to a past incident that led to the killing of its Russian soldiers. Khogh Sidney will work with Chucci, "head of security at the Port of New Orleans," and Jennings Sanders, a special agent, to stop the Russians from actualizing their agenda. Also, Mr. Brown Ross and Natasha would play a significant role in monitoring the increase in Russian cyber-attacks. Discover in this fiction book if the Russians intend to kill Sidney, or they had a bigger plan than killing just one man.

This work of fiction depicts reality. From the preface, one could tell that the book would be an exceptional one. It was quite lovely, and the writer was competent to begin some chapters with such amazing and educating articulated write-ups. On page 132, I particularly liked the quote from George S. Patton: "The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his." Somehow, the book attempted to give a new perspective on military life. Also, it was intriguing that everything happened within seven days. This is the astounding nature of this book.

I admire the author's technique used in writing this book. I love how he specifies the time some events took place and the time zone. This makes the book more realistic. Bedlamites by Stanley K. Michelsen, Jr. has a lot of interesting elements that separate it from mere fiction.

His book is simply one of the best I've read so far. I admired the character of the United States president. Her ambition to get things done rightly was amazing. I felt choosing Mr. Ross Brown for Cyber Security Czar was an intelligent and cautious decision considering Ross's role in the plot.

Most terms used in the book were mostly military terms. One needs to be conversant with this variety of weapons used in the book. "Biosafety level (BSL)" weren't familiar terms to me. Besides, this book will be understood by readers familiar with military terms. It wasn't much of a challenge for me. The context in which they were used helped to drive the plot forward. I didn't find any negative aspects in this book.

This book seems professionally edited since I found a few errors while reading. Hence, I would gladly rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. It has all the content that makes it worth my rating. The alignment and style of writing were exceptional. I believe adults will find this book worth their time, especially those in the military force.

I understand from what I read yesterday that this is the second book in a series. That alone keeps me from wanting to start it. I am interested, however, in Sidney’s apparent ability to see what is happening.

Wow, such an amazing review. I now want to get my hands on that book. I got goosebumps just reading your review, what about when I read the book itself?

I believe that every soldier going to war in one way or another has this quote in mind." The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his." Thanks for the review.

Sounds like a James Bond spy movie. I must read this book.

Great review. A war themed book is very interesting to read and I don't think this meant for just military or people who understands the vocab but rather anyone who enjoyed this genra
