From your review it seems like a good book. But I had enough of actions. I am actually a fantasy lover and try my hands on action and thriller novels. They were good but, now I think that I should give them a break. Anyway I enjoy your review and it's a great one. Thanks!

This sounds like a great book for people who are into high-action thrillers. The book looks well detailed as well with background stories for different characters. Thank you for the amazing review.

This is a great review. Since I am a fan of thriller and I enjoy spy novels I think it's not a bad idea to read this book.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting spy thriller following two government agents on the trail of a terrorist and his plot. It seems like it would be worth a second look. Well done.

I do not normally read thrillers, so I might skip this one. I am glad that you liked it though. Congrats to the author on the 4/4 rating.

It seems to be a really good book. Change of perspectives through narration from both sides, background stories of characters seem to make this book engaging. Congrats on BOTD!

I think this could be a good read. I'm glad the author took time to help the reader get to know the characters that's important to get truly invested in a story. I like that I may have a spark of romance in it too. But I dont think this one is for me. Congratulations on BOTD.

This is a unique espionage novel because usually, you read just from the person attempting to stop the attack and not someone who has the opportunity to commit it. I have no clue if I will read it though.

I think this story is great for a lot of people out there, but not me. I don't like storys about this kind of thing. Nice review though.

Between this review and the sample, I am most definitely hooked! To me, it has a 24 feel to it and I feel like Ol' Jack is going to come swinging in, guns a-blazing.

Great review. I've only read the sample but immediately downloaded the book via the Kindle Unlimited free trial. It is approaching 5am in the UK so I will continue with eagerness asap later today.
My only issue so far is the following description in the Prologue: "a piece of stainless steel trim travelling at 600 miles per hour pierced his chest below his left rib cage".
My OCD has prompted me to point out that "torso" would be more accurate! 😅

This book would appeal to a large audience. Lara Edmond's character is quite interesting with her strong knowledge of computers and primary electronic terrorism traffic. The narration happens from two perspectives (two characters), so it gives us a great understanding of the story.
