This seems to be an engaging thriller. It'd be amusing reading about the time when smartphones were regarded as new technology. Thanks for the review.

Ah, Commander Edwards, we meet again. After reading about how he saved Marnia in The Cartel Crusher, I've looked forward to his own story, and this is it! Can't wait to read it, thanks for the review.

This sounds like an amazing thriller, sizzling with the whole ultra-sensitive, top-secret, inter-service talk. And I think the storyline is unique.
Nice review.

A story that showcases military entertainment sounds epic. I'm okay with action thrillers for the fact that they stir up suspense in that the reader keeps anticipating of what will happen next during their reading. There is no trace of boredom when reading such stories. I am a fan of the author, and based on the books I've read written by him, I have confidence that this book will not disappoint. Congratulations on being the BOTD.

This book is one of the best books. I really love how it's written. There is literally no swearing words and I'd expected it with such a book. It talks about things that actually happens in our daily life that we just overlook.
It's adventurous and I love adventures.

An attack on America's oil production would have monumental economic effects today, not to mention back in 2003. This sounds like a good book to settle down and read. I'd like to see Jacob Edwards's special forces training in action.

This well-written action thriller with a military setting should intrigue the reader of the genre. Thank you for the review!

The characters are pretty interesting and seem like real players behind the scenes of a news cycle. I’m surprised that the author doesn’t have a military background from some of the passages in the book. You can tell the the author loves martial arts and tries to pack as much as he can into the storyline, which is fun. I could see this becoming a feature film. Overall likely too good.

Wow. If the review has me hooked like this, what about the actual book? Being an action fan myself, I'm long overdue to read another military based novel or the like. I'd love to read the whole thing and I do agree that the author did his homework from the small snippet I read earlier today.

I like that this book was set so close to 9/11; it made the whole story about terrorist attacks and top-secret task forces authentic and relatable. I also like the bit about smartphones being a "new technology." It's funny for someone in 2021 looking back.
