The book seems interesting and fast paced portraying a man who loves his family so much that he will do whatever it takes to protect them. But reading about tactics of the terrorist organization is not something I would willingly choose so I'll pass this time. Still I'm sure the book will find its reader as it sounds really engaging. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

I really do not want to be in a position where me and my family have to flee from people that want to kill us. Great review. This is not my cup of tea though.

This read sounds very terrific! I'm trying to see the use of a fight or flight response in this situation, and all I come up with is death! Do you die fighting or running until death overtakes you? Faced with a rich, powerful, sinister enemy, I wonder what strategies Peter Gray employs. More so because he has a family to consider. Congrats on the BOTD.

The book "Carrasco '67" by Elaine Broun brings readers the story of Peter Gray and his family in the fight against the Tupamáros Territory Movement during the late '60s. Although going to South America, first Brazil and then Uruguay, seemed like the right move, Peter Gray will soon see how wrong he was.

Today's BOTD combines historical fiction and crime into an engaging novel filled with suspense and realistic characters and events. Readers will be pulled in right from the start as they follow Peter and his family through dangerous and fearful situations, all while trying to escape and return to safety. Thanks for the helpful review! :-)

Great review! Especially commendable for a first novel, this book is full of adrenaline, with well-drawn characters and a good plot. I have never read a book set in Uruguay before and I had no idea about the humid climate. As for terrorism, its range is scary even in books!
