Max Shaw worked for the Australian Intelligence Service (AIS). He was the head of field operations. He was renditioned by the British Government and found himself at the Sheveningen prison in the Hague. Max was gay, and his lover was the head of the Australian Intelligence Service, Vice Admiral Blake Smyth.

Andrew was a criminal who had siphoned the Australian Intelligence Service's money for two years. He played a major role in the building of Alexandria 2.0 and, all of a sudden, found out that the program's main purpose was to harvest intelligence and defence secrets. He started to panic and went to see Max in prison, as he was the only one capable of helping him. Max was lucky enough to escape prison, travel through countries, and be chased by police officers, even Lyadova's men. In this book, Max's main mission was to prevent World War 3 and to stop the cyber attack caused by Apollo. Did he succeed? Was he captured and sent back to prison? Was Max guilty of the grievous offences he was charged with? There were pieces of evidence that the Russians played a part in the program's mission. Was this true?

Xavier Wallace included many things that made Shaw Reclamation a masterpiece. This book was, in some parts, comical. I don't know if that was intended by the author, but a few parts made me laugh. The author attributed Alexandria 2.0 to the ancient gods. Just like the ancient library of Alexandria, Alexandria 2.0 was to collate information from all around the world and store it in a single place for easy access. A&A Enterprises got its name from the two ancient gods Apollo, the god of knowledge, and Athena, the god of wisdom. No doubt, if such a program was introduced in our society, everyone would be so blinded by its advantages and attributes to notice the main purpose behind it. I really enjoyed the turn of events and sides; when I thought it was Leonid that made the noise in the living room, I was wrong. I didn't expect the look of surprise on my face when I found out who actually made the noise. This was a bonus to the book's awesomeness. I also liked how things and people were shrouded in an enigma and how suddenly the author explained them. This made the book more interesting. I liked how the author explained the workings of the court. I also liked how the book ended. It taught a great lesson, and I hope you'd be able to sieve out the lesson when you read it.

The only negative aspect I found while reading the book was that it contained a lot of errors. This is a great book, and I would have easily given it 4.5 stars, but since that is not possible, I am rating it a four out of five stars. This book was super interesting, and I would have given it a perfect rating if it had been professionally edited, as I did not find any other negative aspect while reading the book.

Shaw Reclamation contains a lot of action scenes. It also had some attributions to ancient times and some court scenes. Lovers of crime, horror, mystery, and thrillers would appreciate this masterpiece.

Great story. Greek gods and goddesses names are quite often used in crime and mystery text, it gives it some kind of uniqueness I think. Thanks for the wonderful review!

This must be a very interesting book. Shaw's mission is still a misery for me.his life and purpose and what could stop him from achieving it become untrue to me. I think I have a lot to find out when I read the book. good review.

Great review, I can feel the passion as you express how you felt while reading the book. Definately a 'want to read' for that reason.

I am not sure what Max’s sexual orientation has to do with anything, but this sounds like a great book. The mystery and suspense that you mention sound very intriguing. I am not confident in my ability to discover the perpetrator on my own, though.

This novel contains an interesting mix of elements from different genres and the idea of Alexandria 2.0 is intriguing. Thank you for your great review!
