I prefer characters that develop in the stories; however this sounds like a fast paced intense book. I like thrillers that challenge my mind so this might work for me. Nice review.

Latest Review: Wild World by Peter S. Rush

Post by Missing Person »

This Handler reminds me of an audiobook I listened to called The History of the FBI by Tim Weiner. That book illustrated how the FBI used to be the primary agency in charge of dealing with terrorist threats. And the FBI was the primary agency in charge of investigating the Al-Qaeda attack on the American embassy in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam in 1998. I find it interesting that the author has decided to make the CIA the main, if not the only, organization that has to stop an Islamic group from using Ghost Chip technology to carry out their acts of terrorism. It makes me want to find out if the FBI does less anti-terrorism work in the modern-day world than the CIA.

This fiction book is very thrilling and full of action. It follows Nick and his partner Carol as they try to thwart evil and fight for justice that ultimately saves lives. It has a nice blend of realism, but it is definitely full of adventure. My personal favorite aspect is how detailed the author describes the characters and scenes. Congrats on the BOTD!

The plot sounds intriguing and the use of technology-oriented thriller novel will surely be an engaging read. The review was elaborate without divulging the suspense. Congratulations on BOTD.

I doubt that I can endure a 438-page book based on the formula of finding enemies of the US everywhere, notwithstanding the author's right to a free license in creativity. This one seems to group China with Al Qaeda!

This isn't exactly my type of books, but after this enthusiastic review, I might give it a go if I wanted to go for a thriller for a change.

This sounds like an interesting read for those who enjoy the terrorist-based thriller. The introduction of a new form of undetectable technology in the Ghost Chip raises a whole new level of problems for Regan. Thank you for a great review!

I think the novel is about introducing the world with new technology like "ghost chip" for CIA related mission.
Novel has the ability to engage its reader especially those who are lovers of thriller series.
it is actually interesting from the perspective of how master minds work behinds terrorist attack all over the world.

The technology called the Ghost Chip seems very authentic and a carefully thought-out detail. Jeffrey S. Stephens deftly combines various plot elements such as radical Islamists, Chinese scientific achievements, and American security.

Not the book for me, these books generally go along with extreme violence, and I am not a fan. I would like to get my hands on that ghost chip though.
