The story starts with a bang – a nuclear attack devastates the West Coast, forcing the newly sworn-in President to make a daring decision. Bond skillfully weaves these disparate threads together, creating a thrilling tapestry of suspense and action.

You did a great review of this book. This may have been a book with 5 out of 5 stars if it had not been for the cheesy romance. Your review did point out all of the strong points and has made me interested in reading it. I am putting it on my bookshelves. Thank you! :techie-studyinggray:

'All the Targets' by Noah Bond is a thrilling political book with lots of action and surprises. It begins with a big explosion, and a guy named Marco becomes powerful. The story is full of cool places and clever storytelling. If you like politics and excitement, you'll love it.

The novel is at once a political thriller and an espionage story with a touch of romance. Even though it occasionally pushes the boundaries of believability, it does provide great entertainment. If I had to name a negative aspect, it would be that I found the romance passages a bit cheesy and of a rather womanizing tone. Quite frankly, I think the book would be better without the numerous comments about women’s legs.
:lol2: That's often the case, unfortunately. Especially in books written by men. I usually love a thriller with a touch of romance, but I'm not sure about the political aspect. I did love your review! Thank you!

"All the Targets" by Noah Bond begins the North Korean nuclear attack on the West coast. The plot of the book mostly revolves around American retaliation. The protagonist of the book is the ambitious Senator Redondo who will even become the President of the USA.

Overall, this book sounds like a thrilling read. Political thrillers are often based on reality and span several settings. This book seems to have done justice to the genre. But I am not a fan of political thrillers and cheesy romances so maybe I will pass this on.
The review is really well-written. The plot is discussed in an interesting way without any spoilers, which is commendable. Thank you.

Great review! Although the book's sample of "All The Targets" was engaging, political thrillers and stories about espionage are not my genre. Congratulations on the review!

"All the Targets" by Noah Bond sounds familiar and relatable to one of the action movies I have watched with the same storyline and plot. I am interested in knowing how Marco handles the situation in the United States as president with what's going on. Congratulations to the author on BOTD!

Congrats on BOTD!
Noah Bond's "All the Targets" is a compelling political thriller that jumps from one setting to another with a quick narrative, interesting plot twists, and careful writing. The complexities of world politics and the espionage aspects were fascinating. Although the romantic sections appeared somewhat clichéd and overly sexual, readers who enjoy political thrillers should still read them.
