I think this book will sell best in my country. It's like it is meant for every living human as well.

I really dislike cliffhangers, but the engineering and international politics involved sound interesting. I'll be giving the sample a chance, but a cliffhanger is a very serious negative for me.

Re:Featured review:The Expansion by Christophe Martin
Good political thriller. The unfolding of events, that is Max life and Karis shows a life of betrayal and secrets which are well illustrated creating some tension. It also ullustrates Panama, the reader actually feels like they have visited the place in real life. Good book.

Great job on the review! This book sounds intriguing and perfect for fans of thrillers. I personally don't like when books end in cliff hangers, unless I already have the sequel in hand. :)

Reading a book where the solution isn't obvious would be refreshing, books (and movies) these days are painfully predictable. You make this book sound riveting!

I love war engineering books. The review seems to prode my reading appetite to this seemingly thrilling piece of work that promises everything under one volume. I'd love to read the book to see whether I'll be convinced to pile my 4 stars against the given 4.

What an interesting premise. I wonder if it was published prior to the actual start of the expansion to the Panama Canal.
And nice touch adding the Nicaragua angle.

Thank you for the review.

Ugh, cliffhangers. It's probably not for me in that case, but I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Thriller by Chrsitosp Martin, a book that you ponder on the next context that gets you wondering, learning the twist and turns in life. I liked how he writes about a character painstakingly leaves all he loved for fame. Well, we all tried until we got to the top! Hope we fine our loves back and well against all odds!
