Re: Official Review: All the Targets by Noah Bond

Post by mrlefty0706 »

“All the Targets” by Noah Bond is an action-packed thriller that begins with a nuclear attack by North Korea that wipes out San Francisco and severely damages most of the west coast of the U.S. The book then revolves around America’s retaliation led by Texan Senator Marco Redondo, a very ambitious politician that aspires for the Oval Office. The plot thickens with plenty of intrigue included in a complicated plan, agents pretending to be the President and First Lady, a kidnapping and an assassination attempt. The official review did not give away any spoilers so one has to read the book to learn what the U.S. does to North Korea. I want to read this book so it is now on my To-Read shelf. Very good review.

I think Noah has a really good thought process with the nuclear bombs on the west coast. It's pretty cool how the mother is from the far north and the father of Marco is from South. I wished he would tell how the mom and dad met. It's awesome how he became president of the United States after he did the nuclear bombing. Noah has a very talented mind and I hope there's more books to follow this one!!!!

The theme of this story doesn't seem to be new as it revolves around the old America's retaliation against its adversaries.

While the book may appeal to others, political thrillers with cheesy romance are not my cup of tea. I think I will be skipping this book for now. Thank you for your honest review!

The review is so well structured and informative. Honestly, I did not quite liked the plot and story of the novel. The description of women’s legs at several points does not seem appropriate to me too.
But I would definitely want to congratulate the author on the BOTD!!

Another book by Noah Bond that is made it to BOTD, and it justifies why-a well structured and researched story on espionage, and investigative crime thriller aspects, is a great combination of a good book. I like romance too, but I'm not sure if it's cheesy content might put me off. Only one way to know -by picking this book up. Thankyou for the wonderful review!!

I love that this book is packed with plot twists and mysteries, but I don't tend to enjoy political thrillers very much. I also don't like the way that romance seems to be added to ths novel. I am a fan of romance novels, but not when they are "cheesy" and full of "silly romantic clichés." I would probably love all the action scenes but I'm not sure I would enjoy the book as a whole. Thanks for the review.

Post by MARTHA UGOCHI ASOGWA »

In the novel "All the Targets" by Noah Bond, the author takes readers on a thrilling and action-packed journey right from the beginning. The story kicks off with a devastating North Korean nuclear attack that completely decimates San Francisco and leaves the West Coast heavily damaged. This sets the stage for America's retaliation, which is spearheaded by the protagonist, Marco Patrick Redondo. Marco, a charming and ambitious Texan senator with a privileged background, rises through the ranks to become the Vice President and eventually the President of the United States. Congratulations on your BOTD!.

In All the Targets, Noah Bond crafts a gripping tale of political ambition and covert operations. Marco Patrick Redondo's journey from senator to president, coupled with a mix of romance and international intrigue, makes this a compelling read.

Thanks for the heads-up about the romance nonsense in the book. I love political thrillers and agree that sometimes the romance is unnecessary. However, I'm a fan of Noah Bond and will read this one regardless.

Great analysis of Noah Bond's "All the Targets"! Overall, your review does an excellent job of providing readers with an overview of the book and what to expect from it. It sounds like a suspenseful political thriller with lots of action and clever story turns. Your insightful observations regarding the romantic themes emphasize the necessity for more complex representations.

To handle the aftermath of the devastating nuclear attack on America, Marco relies on the invaluable cooperation of his talented wife Meghan and his dubious father-in-law. The plot thickens as an attractive female agent joins the operation. Together, they implement measures that involve a complicated plan, dangerous trips abroad, agents pretending to be the President and the First Lady, a kidnapping, and an assassination attempt.
- I am intrigued over and above, to read this novel. An excellently composed review. Thank you.

The devastating nuclear attack kicking things off sounds like such a gripping hook. Immediately raises the stakes sky-high and sets an intense tone from the outset.

Amazing review. "All The Targets" by Noah Bond revolves around Marco, Texan senator who soon becomes U.S President. It's quite interesting to know how Marco handles aftermath of North Korea's nuclear attack on America. Noah Bond writing excels throughout the book.
