I love how the history and fiction blend. No man likes to be under pressure, especially when it affects his family. I'd love to find out how Peter Gray comes out of this.
Thanks for the free copy.

Looks like a book with lots of suspense, which is something that piques my interest in a book. I see a lot of drama, I doubt he can escape with his family but I have to read to find out.

I like it when a person or in this case a family gets thrown into the wrong crowd and have to try to get out of the mess. This seems like a lot of action I wouldn't want to miss. Great review.

Great interactive review that starts with a cognizant question and ends with a puzzle. This historical fiction is a mirror image of Latin America, Asia and Africa. An underworld force that controls world economy, politics, and terrorist groups are challenges that family business must contend with. Shall people continue to just escape and tolerate ?

I like when the story is well written to the extent that makes you go back to check if it's real.

Latest Review: Surviving the Business of Healthcare by Barbara Galutia Regis PA-C

Post by AnéUngerer »

This book sounds very intriguing. I loved this review as it gave me the necessary insight into what the book really is like. I love authors that can write in a way that consumes the reader in the story and the characters and it seems like this book gives you that. The facts and research about the topics of the book also make me more inclined to read it as I respect authors that put in the extra effort and make books as realistic as possible.

Thanks for the great review! It gave a lot of insight into what to expect from the book. The realistic scenes and scenarios created by the author sound fantastic. I love it when authors do a lot of research to make a book as realistic as possible. I have a lot of respect for authors that go the extra mile when writing a book.

This book sounds like a page-turner watching an innocent family whose lives turn into turmoil and danger. I can only imagine how scary it must be when you have started out as a family with everything and then have to fight to keep your family safe from terrorists. This sounds like a really amazing read. Thank you for the fabulous review.

Latest Review: We are Voulhire: A New Arrival under Great Skies by Matthew Tysz

Post by Charlie-C »

The review was quite informative, though this story is more on the borderline of an 'Against all odds' type of situation.
Protecting one's relatives can be daunting in the face of organised crime; it'd be not an easy walk away from it all without suffering losses.
Unfortunately this is the prite of many folks who are blackmailed into underhanded windfalls in exchange for their services, and usually those services soar beyond their moral boundaries.
Great review.

A story to save oneself and one's family should be engaging.

Thank you for the great review.

Family safety and well-being comes first. Anything that threatens family peace is not worth pursuing. I would like to give this novel a read because it is my favourite genre and also because it is reality based and talks about the tactics employed by the terrorists. Thank you for the detailed review!

The book is downright realistic and portrays the settings of an ordinary family thrown into the wrong mix. The story was natural, realistic, suspenseful, and engaging. It is a must read.
The review is superb.

I like books that are set in unique places. I never read anything set in Uruguay. I'm a bit skeptical of the slow pace. However, I will like to sample it. Congrats!

Latest Review: “Wisdom Of The Men” by Clint Arthur

Post by bibimahkh1960 »

A nice review! I fully agree that a good author will convey the emotions and feelings that the novel's characters are experiencing. Good fiction tends to do that and applies poetic license to situations as close to real life as possible.
