The book sounds interesting and really fast paced with lots of actions moving from one place to another in a seemingly never ending chase for terrorists. At the same time the book seems to have too much politics so I'll pass this time. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

It is always interesting to read an international thriller, particularly when the author is knowledgeable about the subject. A good cast of characters is also nice to see, as in this husband and wife team. A good review and you seemed to enjoy this book. You have pricked my interest in it.

I like the fact that the protagonists are actually a married couple. Something you don't see everyday in this kind of story. Nice review!👍

This sounds like an awesome thriller! Thanks for the review. I will definitely have to read this book sometime soon!

I am not interested in reading this book. I hear too much about terrorism in real life. I dont want to read about it. I have not read any of the books in this series, and think that they may simply be too depressing for me.

This looks fun! I feel like a lot of series struggle with where to go after the couple gets together, so it's a really nice change of pace to see a healthy couple leading a book. There's more to a relationship than the lead-up. The action also sounds really interesting and fast-paced. Thanks for the review!

At first glance, I didn't think that this book would interest me. When I read the blurb, I was still disinterested because, for me, the author doesn't give me enough to really go on. After reading your review though, I have to admit that my interest is piqued. I enjoy suspense thriller novels and I like that these characters sound pretty down to earth minus the bravado that most tend to have in the FBI. I think that I'll give this book a chance and see where it goes.

I have always been a fan of thrillers and hearing you talk about it makes me, want to read it all the more.

Even though I'm not a thriller fan, this book seems interesting and the topic of terrorism is, I have to admit, intriguing. I might have a look into this one.
