This isn't my go to genre to say the least, but the premise and execution of the story sound promising!

Human Action!

This book reveals a lot about human nature, heroism, everyday philosophy and some simple life questions. The language is easy to grasp, emotional and yet thought-provoking. The author's style is quite moving with vivid dialogs. Action-packed or thrilling would be somewhat understating - it is rather a multidimensional, exquisitely developed and enjoyable read with realistic characters and situations. As for the setting, it made me want to go and see those places in the great city!

Great review. An action packed thriller with terrorist, the mob and Homeland Security all going to war. Sounds like an awesome story. Congrats on being BOTD.

War novels (especially with graphic violence) aren't my genre but thanks for the review and the warning.
Interested in books that help one's spirit move beyond the ordinary.

Great review! I don't usually read action thrillers, but this one sounds so compelling that I have to give it a try especially with this great review "fast-moving plot, believable characters, a compelling story and some comic relief." Thanks so much for sharing.

Good review, although books about war don't typically interest me much.
