This sounds like an awesome combination of action and political thriller. The author has obviously researched the areas discussed in the books and has made the premise relatable to modern circumstances. Thanks for a great review.

I've got goosebumps. Politics is such a heavy topic now more than ever. It actually helps deliver the necessary suspense needed for this kind of book; there is little that could be too absurd.

I like the sound of this. A lot of these types of thrillers get bogged down by political details, but it's good to hear the author doesn't create suspense and drama at the cost of character development, which for me is what drives a story.

I love thriller books. There is almost nothing as good as reading an action-packed and fast-paced political story on a boring day. Thanks for the review

Having already read the book I think your review does justice with it. Character development forms a laudable part of the book. And the plot is engaging and enticing. Thanks for the review. Yours was a commendable job

Very nice review. It is good to hear of a good political thriller with well developed characters. Like others have said, not many authors pay attention to that in these kinds of book. While political books of any kind are not my kind of thing, as you kind of mentioned, there is a lot of actual current affairs issues going on, I'm not really inclined to add fictional drama to it. However, if I were, this does seem like it would be a good choice. It also might help people who find current events boring get a little taste of it in a less formal way, seeing as you said the author uses some current events to push it along.

This book sounds interesting. I like that it's a political thriller that has a lot of action and also has well developed characters. Political books are not my favorite but this one seems to have a good plot. Thanks for your review.

The book is discussing the political conspiracy nowadays. It relates what kind of politics we have in the present. The story contained much suspense and relevant understanding of what was really happening on our political world today. It was really an eye-opener story. The characters are also well-played and I really appreciate it. You did a great job.

Sounds like a great action thriller. Terrorism seems a popular choice for this sort of book currently. Good to hear the characters and editing were done well. Nice review.

I've read the whole Jack Ryan series of Tom Clancy and that's when I fell in love with the political thriller genre. Your verbose review is interesting and I like how you gave insights into the book parts that detailed the characters as well as the plot twist/s encompassing the story. After reading this review, I'm intrigued enough to read this book ASAP. Thanks!

I will really read this book with thrilling action and have the topic about father and son relationship. This may taught us about politics as well.

I've reviewed this novel and completely agree with you that the characters are masterfully created by James Doucette. This is a novel that I've enjoyed tremendously. Thank you for a great review!
