It sounds like Bronson must navigate some truly tricky situations, and the intriguing plot would likely keep many readers entertained, but since books about politics, espionage, and military missions don’t generally interest me, I’ll probably be passing on this one. Thank you for your honest review!

A book about war, espionage, fiction, and reality woven together surely sounds a decent read. The review is simple yet detailed and enhances the appeal of this book. It will be worth a read. Thanks.

Latest Review: How To Be Successful by M. Curtis McCoy

This seems to be an intriguing book, indeed. I'm curious about the entire series, as war stories fascinates me.  I'm glad to know that fact that it's well-written, the storyline moves fast without losing the main point of the story, and the unique characters part of this intriguing story reinforce the pleasant work created by the author.

I am not interested in reading this book. This is probably due to the fact that I am not enamored of military stories. I do, however, like the fact that no gruesome scenes and no sexual scenes are mentioned. Thanks for the review.

This book sounds interesting and adventurous, but military novels aren't something I read. Good review though.

Latest Review: The Solution is Political Revolution by Jillion R Rising

It's great that a relatively common topic in books of this type, the invention of the death ray, is dealt with in the right way. By that I mean the stress and conflicts that Mark Bronson will find himself in. It is commendable that the novel is fast-paced.

Stumbling upon death ray seems to be an intriguing turn of events. I get why Mark is stressed and worried. The book seems fast paced and interesting, with a political angle. Congratulations on the BOTD.

I'm curious as to some of the events that you found unrealistic (aside from the death ray, obviously). It does sound like the pacing issues might detract from the story, but the relatable, sarcastic narrator helps I'm sure. Thank you for your review!

War and Military fiction sounds like a break from the norm so that's exciting. The protagonist seems to be someone who puts himself entirely into his work, and I guess that's why it affects his life so much. The book has an excellent rating by the reviewer. Great Job.

Thanks for the informative review. The book seems very captivating. An action-packed espionage story with romance as the icing on the cake is my cup of tea. Thanks for the recommendation. I congratulate the author for the BOTD.

The book sounds interesting and fast paced with lots of actions, espionage, government contracts, and power politics games. And this is the reason I think the book is not for me as I'm not a fan of war fiction, politics and spies. Still I'm sure the book will find its reader. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

I really do not like military and war books. But I think the author avoidance unnecessary explanation of details is commendable. Thank you for the excellent review.
