The themes of mining industry, oil industry, threat to a mogul and their family, and special forces have me wanting to read this story. I hope the author takes your suggestion to pass the book through a round of editing.
Hope you enjoy the book, Gerry!

The characters sounding confusing along with switches in perspective is just what I need for my next read! Thank you for the review!!

As a reader, I find myself rooting for John and his company, and I hope he manages to outsmart the villains who want to kill his dreams. Your observations are crucial in this review process, and I hope the author will take them into consideration. The book, with its engaging narrative, appears to be a worthwhile read.

Thanks, Anu!

This is an incredible read. I might have rushed a bit to the other parts, as it felt like the author had a lot to offer, and you're tabling it all in this review to help readers decide. The issue handled by the main character is one everybody should study regardless of how little your idea is. It can be stolen. It's a sad reality, but it happens. I look forward to it. :tiphat:

It sounds like A Chesapeake Nightmare offers an intriguing blend of business, technology, and high-stakes thriller, with an emotional opening to hook readers right away. The author's descriptive writing helps paint vivid scenes, but I can see how the overuse of details might slow things down in the faster-paced sections. The shifting perspectives and large character cast added some complexity but seem to eventually contribute to the overall dynamic. I’m glad the humor lightened things up at the right moments. It’s a shame about the editing issues, but given the engaging plot and character development, I can see why you still enjoyed it. For readers into thrillers with a touch of tech and military action, this one sounds like a solid recommendation.

This sounds like an exciting read with a strong mix of corporate tension and action. I appreciate how you pointed out both the immersive writing and the pacing issues—it helps set expectations. Great job highlighting both the strengths and the room for improvement!

I love how the review highlighted the mix of thriller elements with business, technology, and even military operations. The character of CSM Zaky sounds particularly intriguing, and I'm curious to see how the author balances the emotional and action-packed scenes. Definitely adding this to my thriller list!
