I agree with @Letora, building on actual events does cement novels in a strong foundation. I think the character background helps keep me engaged in novels, along with a great plot. Thank you for the recommendation.
Thank you so much for stopping by.

Me neither. It was quite fascinating. :)

The use of real life events makes it more so since this sounds a bit higher concept than your average Jack Reacher and company. Pity about the characters though, because it sounds like it has potential.
I was equally impressed with cli-fi/espionage approach. I hope the author builds on it. Thank you so much for stopping by.

Thank you very much!
