This was the first book that I have read by this author. The one good thing about his book was the original premise I thought it was a very good one, sadly this writer could not pull it off. It is sad to see a good idea go down the drain. Some of the scenes were just goofy. The story after the first part just dragged on the 2nd half never ended lol. The dialogue was not that good. A lot of the main and secondary characters just felt wafer thin. Once the story got diverted from the main story it just got lost. When some of the secondary characters entered the story it was like a big scene lol. Once again the main idea was good but writer lacked the talent too make it a much deeper story. I say skip this one.

Enjoyed this book very much

Great development of characters and plot. I was totally shocked with the ending- but will not give it away😉 Can't wait for his next book!

Interesting Premise

Interesting, exciting story, editing needs to be a bit more detailed on spelling, sentencing structure,
and phrases. I enjoyed it, though.

A fast pace page turner. If you like tom Clancy this is a must read.

I couldn’t wait to finish. A lucky bad guy and a bunch of keystone cops. No real main character but characters are introduced with more information than needed since they soon end up dead. I kept hoping it would get better but it didn’t.

Not a bad read. Some technical issues if you know your stuff.

Not a bad read. Some technical issues if you know your stuff. Wasn't expecting greatness, so it was fine. One more word.

Punctuation, Grammar, Spelling

Story good but ruined by atrocious spelling, punctuation and grammar. No follow-up for me. .... Six more words are necessary to complete this review.

This book was just ok. I found there was something missing in the way the story lines were developed. My attention was not grabbed and held.

Boom!

Wow, what a story, and another one needed. A must read. Started slowly like a train, but picked up speed. A must read!
