review 1: Actually a 2.5 star. A little over the top, but I still enjoyed the read. Other reviewers have done a good job with most of the book's qualities so I'll just comment on a feature that may have touched me in a unique way. When I was a young man I dreamed of world travel. 0, the places I'd see! I did eventually get around a bit in the US, including some garden spots, but my international travel was limited to some single-day excursions to Mexican border towns. Now, in my dotage, I frequently regret my restricted horizons. Mayland's visual and olfactory descriptions of Baku, a city I once dreamed of, but now, to Mayland, a trashed oil-town, have eased that regret.
review 2: Very fast paced covert military thriller, it has many turns that are not expected but add l... moreots of depth to the story. Only having a few characters that make it through the entire book gives it a personal experience and makes you want to see them come out on top. It has a believable story that sounds like it could be happening right now given the current state of the world and its dark corners. I would like to give thanks to the author Dan Mayland, the publisher and goodreads for allowing me to win a copy of this first reads giveaway book. I would recommend it to anyone who likes Clancy or just a good story. less
