review 1: Financial thrillsThis is a very decent financial thriller. This is a boring thing to say about an indie book but it could easily have been put out by a large publishing house.It is very well edited.Part one is a decent start to the storyThe financial stuff has been well handled by the author. It all makes senseand it isn't just a sideshow before you get onto the action. The whole scenario seems pretty plausiblePart two is a bit slow going in many respects. Not much really happens. It is a fairly easy and enjoyable read but there is too much of a lull between action scenes and the hero is a bit too passive. However I did quite like reading it.The book picks up considerably in part three. There were several good action scenes. Again the financial stuff all seemed to make sen... morese and in general it was plausible and realistic.I have thoroughly enjoyed the Zero Sum trilogy and in particular it was good to read a financial thriller that seemed to be seriously researched.
review 2: I probably would have given the book 5 stars, except that, like most self-published works, it was in need of an editor. Truthfully, the story moved quickly enough that the grammar issues didn't bother me enough to slow me down, which is unsual. My only real beef with this one is that, while I knew that it was book 1 of 3, I didn't expect the book to end mid-story. Unlike most trilogies, there is no getting around reading the next book, I'm afraid... less
