Thanks for your comment.gali wrote: ↑30 Nov 2018, 07:54 A historical fiction continuing the adventures of Jamie and Jack in Malaya sounds good. Throwing in murder and kidnapping in the mix should add to the excitement. That the book was professionally edited and the characters well-developed is certainly a plus. I didn't read the previous books in the series, so I won't read this one as well. I am glad you found it fascinating, though. Thank you for the review!

Thank you.piecesfallapart wrote: ↑30 Nov 2018, 08:02 I’m glad this book could be read on its own. I do not think I would be reading the trilogy, but the book sounds interesting.
Your review made the book more exciting than the summary of the book. That being said, is not part of my reading choice.

Thank you. I appreciate your comment.Shrabastee wrote: ↑30 Nov 2018, 08:36 I have read the first book, and meaning to read the second and third installments. Good thing that these books stand alone, because in that case I can read this one and then go back for the middle one. The sense of humor you mentioned was a noticeable aspect of the first book as well, and it really adds to the charm of the book. Thanks for the great review!

I'm glad you enjoyed the author's work, as well. I appreciate your comment.Sahani Nimandra wrote: ↑30 Nov 2018, 09:01 I have reviewed the second book of this series and I couldn't be more pleased with the author's work. Jack O'Brien and Jamie Munro are an ideal peas in a pod. They are interdependent on each other, and their characters support this read in every way. I appreciate the author's use of humor to make this read a delight. Thank you for your review!

Thanks for your comment.Sirajuddin wrote: ↑30 Nov 2018, 09:22 I liked the part of the book of the rescue mission in the jungles of Malaya, where a team of two men and a woman are on a rescue mission to rescue Colonel Johnny Cook. A brief and excellent review, but it highlighted the interesting parts of the novel.

Thank you. I appreciate your comment.Ever_Reading wrote: ↑30 Nov 2018, 09:48 Humour and heart-pounding action are definitely Greg Kater's strengths. I haven't gotten time to continue with the series ever since I read the first book. However, I'm glad this one could stand on its own. I might just read it before I read the second one. Your review has renewed my interest in the series. Thank you!
