Cliff hanger!!!

It is a cliff hanger. That is cheap trick for an author to use to sell books. I will not be reading any more of his books.

This is an incredible book. I loved the characters and the story, which is well written and scary. Could it really happen? Never say never. It's unputdownable, exciting, fascinating, enjoyable and entertaining reading. Just what I look for and hope I'll get in a thriller. I received this book free through AuthorsXP.com for a review and am so glad I did. The book is a stand alone book in a trilogy. I got books 2 and 3 to start reading next and will be looking for more in the future.

I purchased this book because of the amazing reviews on Amazon and oh boy, they were all right. Such a good book with great characters that keeps you obsessed with every page since the first one. I couldn't put this down until I ended. The characters are so real and so well writen that are believable. This thiller is one of the best on I´ve ever read! Can't wait for book two!

Nuclear Wasteland Coming

An original concept for controlling an opposing country. While the characters are not yet well developed, we should hope that future volumes of this series remedy that and their need to be future volumes because the author has a great imagination for military/political thrillers.

I loved the book right up until the climax/ending. The ending was just a too little out into right field and did not seem to fit the context of the book leading up to the climax. Dropped it to 4 stars for that.

Excellent Read

This is a well written book with an interesting plot and characters. The story is believable even though most will doubt that some of the plot pieces are probably pretty unlikely. Well worth the time to read it

Scary

Amazing the details of a possible Mike being smuggled into the country. The technical description is fascinating. Characters full of spunk. Glad there on our side.Conrad Samayoa

Great read

This is a True type of Thriller I enjoy. This takes place all over the world with political and military inner action. It is so well written that I read until 3:00 A.m. Two nights to finish it. I can't wait to get book two the Harris to continue the series!

Terrific read! Very realistic!

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Fifty and look forward to reading the #2 book, Harris. It’s a well written page turner with great characters and lots of edge of your seat action

[Tom Mahan · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a top notch political/espionage thriller until the very last few chapters. It had a great plot, characters that were real and interesting, and a pace that never let up. At the end, it just became a silly over the top fantasy let down. So close, so damn close to a great novel.

[Howard Rogers · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this book, it was quickly paced and had lots of twists and turns. I like that it has several plot lines that interconnect through the book. If you like spy and thriller type books, you will like this one.

Spell binding

A lot of research
Involved, transmitted to the readers tense suspense and surprise at developing science that was thought to be impossible, possible

Loved the book. Found the characters enterplay endearing.

[MICHAEL D. CASTLE · Rating 4 out of 5]

Took a chance on this author, as the tag lines looked intriguing. Was not disappointed. I bought the next book in the trilogy right away. Great story for the times. It’s a quick read, which I like.

[Kathleen Campau · Rating 4 out of 5]

The story has an unusual and believable premise. The dialog sounds like natural conversation. The character's backstories give them dimension. A good read.

[Monty Bates · Rating 3 out of 5]

Fast Action

There is a lot of action and it's fast paced. I have it three stars because some of the story is unbelievable. Even with that flaw though it is a fun read.

[Mike Merriman · Rating 1 out of 5]

Interesting book until it went off the rails. No conclusions. It just ended with a hook to an unrelated sequel. Unsatisfying.

[Harold M Hendershot · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent thriller

A real page turner from the beginning to the end. Great use of historical quotes to the in themes and action through out the book.

[Leonsky · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good

Intriguing, but predictable ending. Good lead into the next sequence of the story, a nuclear plant terrorist attack, sounds exciting. In

Predictable plot

Not a bad story, but endgame was predictable. It was a quick read
and I don't think it was meant for thought-provoking thesis. A light weekend read
