review 1: Downloaded this to my Kindle unaware of the series status. Having not read book 1, I discovered it's OK, the story is strong enough to stand on it's own. I was a bit confused in the beginning as "the boy" is referred to by three different names. Once that became clear, a complex internatoinal tale takes off with two very gutsy females leading the way. We begin in America, a murder has been committed and "the boy" has confessed. Nadia, his guardian knows that this can not be. So she sets out to prove his confession counter factual. Instinct tells Lauren, our sleuthing journalist, "the boy" is someone other than who he claims to be. Uncovering these truths proves risky business for these determined ladies. To reveal the truth while keeping some facts hidden becomes quit... moree the shuffle. From America to the Ukraine to Russia the trust no one tensions build. Events around the Chernobyl nuclear facility and aftermath are stirring. The time I spent immersed within these pages was rewarded with a rapidly moving, efficiently crafted original offering by very skilled author, Openly obvious set up at the end for the coming of book 3 and counting. And so I leave it here.

I enjoyed this book. It's by the same author, Orest Steimach, that wrote, "Boy From Reactor 4".

Not as gripping as The Boy from Reactor 4, but still action packed read
