I am an ardent reader of war-fiction stories, but I am worried about the book being a forgettable one. Thanks for the review.

The audiobook of this story would be nice to listen to, as the story combines the important theme of love and seems to have betrayal too.

I do not prefer military or war-related stories, so I will probably have to pass this one. I still commend the author for the book. Thanks for the honest review!

This seems like an interesting story discussing relevant issues facing the world today. It's a shame that sometimes the cohesiveness of the story suffers a little. Thanks for the great review!

The book’s concept has potential, and I’d be lying if I said that one of the characters resembling a former US president that I enjoy parodies of wasn’t a draw for me. However, the potential issues with the suspension of disbelief the reviewer mentions are dealbreakers for me. Even in works like this, there has to be cohesion and a solid level of believability before the reader can suspend disbelief for more fantastical elements. Thank you for the helpful review.

This seems like an action filled story. I enjoy a good spy story, with a bit of romance. This is a book I can enjoy reading.
