BLAST RADIUS is such a well written novel I had trouble putting it down just to accomplish my daily activities. It felt as though the action never stopped until the book concluded. My only hope is that there are sequels to this wonderful story.

Near Constant, Action-Packed Story The Crosses The Entire Planet
This is a near-constant, mostly fast-paced story that is well-written and keeps The Reader interested from beginning-to-end. Go out and read this book!
I enjoyed this story, but think the title ‘Blast Radius’ doesn’t apply very much, and I don’t see where this is a ‘Techno Thriller’ as advertised by Amazon. I also think the fighting described in the Middle East is confusing … I definitely got lost trying to keep straight who’s doing what at some points.
And BEWARE — this Author is not afraid of taboo subjects in his writing; if YOU are intimidated by sexual descriptions or vicious threats to children and adults — do not even think of starting this book. (And this warning includes multiple references by The Author to under-age sexual encounters — which, frankly, may truly reflect real life somewhere — but are otherwise rather disturbing.)

If I could have given this book no stars I would. It started with some fairly graphic sexual exploits which is fine if in context and not gratuitous. Then further in there was some mention of bestiality to children "spoken" about as a threat to a father. While I considered this unnecessary I continued. However, when it came to talk of physical abuse of a young girl and her grooming I began to doubt my choice of book. The paedophilia and murder that followed was completely gratuitous and totally unnecessary to this book and this is where i stopped reading. The following chapters may well have provided the thriller that was promised however this writer - I wouldn't even call him an author - stepped over the line. I have seldom not finished a book and then only because it was poorly written or edited. This travesty was disgusting. I have deleted the book and will never read another book by this writer.

Great pace, imaginative combinations of personal life, world politics, and technology. I like the author's take on human nature and its fallabilities
I enjoy mysteries and thrillers and this kept me engrossed to the end. I would read more from this author.

Terrific
A great read. The Ninjas were a scary bunch, Washington's a lot like today. Corruption, intrigue. Couldn't put it down. I especially liked the scenes with the stealth planes. I look forward to reading more by you.

Excellent Adventure
This is an Excellent Adventure ! It held my attention from the beginning and I couldn't put it down. I stayed up until I finished the book. It was not only a thriller but it was fun. Hope there is a series of books about the main character!

I liked it!
This is filled with action, with very human characters and humor. Those details kept me engaged. These stories have enough realistic facts to make it easy to imagine events such as these possible, even likely.

A real page turner.
As in real life, Matthew Bayan captures the sleazy, convoluted machinations of Washington's politics and politicians. Former FBI agent Zack Bennett keeps his head above the quicksand, but just barely. A fun read.

Excellent action!
I stayed up all night reading this thriller . This author knows his subject and how to keep you on the edge of your seat. This is the first book I have read of his but I intend to read them all!

Thriller extraordinaire!!
Thanks for keeping me awake all night, Mr. Bayan.
You've written one heck of a good book. I await the next one.

A don't miss page turner.
I haven't had as much fun with a thriller in years. Bryan's character development is amazing and this plot just grabs at you. Great read.
