review 1: As soon as I passed page 100 I was sure I am going to rate the book with 5 stars. I kept enjoying it, with the same enthusiasm till page 200. But then I started to realize two things. First one, was that the author seemed to be confused, regarding his writing. Many chapters looked more like Wikipedia rather than a suspense book. Long detailed description, that had nothing to do with the main story, and could be easily skipped without interfering with the main story.Second problem was the way the story was outlined. Too many events scattered in too many places. The story jumped from one event to the other, and the reader start losing the story sequence.So at that point, I felt the book deserved not more than 4 Stars. At page 300 it became too ridicules. I mean things like t... morehe president of the USA is flying an F18 for 9 hours into the Mediterranean Sea. Landing on a Carrier in the middle of the night.. Come on, Give me a break.. At that point it became a straggle to finish the remaining 100 pages, with more ridicules events.Just because 50% of the book was good and I enjoyed it, I decided to rate it as 3 Stars (2 Stars if I wouldn't have finished it.) The main Character of the book. A secret agent seems to be OK. Maybe I'll try the 2nd book with the same main hero.
review 2: Surprisingly fast read despite it being very thick. Great plot that really moves. If you like political thrillers that involve international terrorism, this will be a fun read for you. The copy I have is an early addition so there were still some grammar/formatting errors which at times took me out of the moment but overall, I was pretty pleased.This is Book 1 in a series -- looking forward to reading the rest. less
