Rafkin indeed hit it off the bat this time and we are all living it. He wandered about difficult themes with professional intricacy and thereby presented a delicious thriller with an eye-opening message. Most importantly, Odii, you are a true blessing dear. This was a powerful review, I fell in love with it at first read. It was crisp and didn't shy away from revealing the feisty layers of our system all the while it perfectly analyses the text itself. Thank you for the review, you have my heart for this.

I applaud the author for taking on a serious topic, such as human trafficking, that continues to plague the world today. It's even sadder when these corrupt governments, especially in these third-world countries, do not care for the safety of their female and youth population that are sold into this modern-day form of slavery.

This book sounds action-packed and highly relevant with serious and necessary themes/topics for discussion. It doesn’t really feel like my cup of tea, but it seems like a worthwhile read for those who enjoy this genre and kind of novel. Thank you for the helpful review.

What a suspenseful thriller about a controversial ongoing problem all over the world. It's a shame that so many people care more about getting more money than protecting human life. I downloaded a copy to check this out.

The book is a thrilling and thought-provoking eye opener to some of the human vices especially human trafficking which has been camouflaged in recent times. I look forward to reading the numerous themes explore by the author. Congratulations on BOTD.

"Global Vice" by Andrew J. Rafkin is a book that discusses the inhumane practices like trafficking which is still in existence today. I recommend this book to government officials as the knowledge in it could help plan against trafficking.

This sounds like a novel that is filled with doers of lots of contemporary issues plaguing the world. This book has an intriguing cover page too, but it looks like a sci-fi book. Congratulations to the author on winning book of the day.

I think that the depiction of human trafficking is quite realistic in this novel. However, I am much more intrigued by how the criminal organizations that are running these huge human trafficking schemes are able to do so, and what the government and other organizations are doing to combat the many methods of these human traffickers.
Congratulations to the author for BOTD!

This thriller starts out very fast-paced and the action and story do not disappoint. Global Vice" by Andrew J. Rafkin has intrigue, human trafficking, Russian oligarchs, hi-tech and so much more within its pages. The characters were developed well and quickly. The story involves greed and a cavalier attitude toward human lives so please beware if you are tender-hearted.
If you're going through hell, keep going.

Global Vice" by Andrew J. Rafkin sounds like an interesting and suspenseful book to read. Besides human trafficking, I wonder the reason behind kidnapping one of cosmec's partners.
