The premise of this story reminds me of the Jason Bourne movies. Sounds like it has the potential to be really exciting, but I will hold off until the author undergoes another round of professional editing. Thanks for a thorough review!

It's a bit like that. I can see why you'd say that. It's more involved but similar. Thanks for your comment.

The premise of the book is certainly interesting. Hopefully, it will go through another edit so it can reach its full potential. Thanks for the interesting review.

I was intrigued by the concept and disappointed when you mentioned the editing and execution.

The plot seems thrilling and interesting at the same time, but when you said that the story seems to do more telling than showing, I lost my interest in reading this book. I'm so sorry to hear that the book needs thorough editing, too. Thanks for the honest review.

Thanks for commenting. I think it can be fixed, but it's not my favorite in its current condition.

I was enthralled with your review! The low rating plummeted me back to earth. I'll have to think about this one - the story line still sounds tempting. Thanks for your honest review.

Everyone is different, so you might like it. It wasn't so horrible that I couldn't picture anyone reading it. Thanks for your comment.

How unfortunate that poor execution once again derails a promising premise. I hope the author will rectify the issues you point out. Great review!

"The story seems to do more telling than showing." Thank you for pointing this out. Unfortunately, authors can fall into this trap without realizing it. I'd much rather see the action that read backstory. Great review!
