A thriller about Russia trying to take over the world certainly sounds interesting. I look forward to reading more about this conspiracy to see how much it matches what is going on in today's world. Congrats on BOTD.

This sounds like an interesting plot but my eyes begin to glaze over reading too much techno-babble. I appreciate your honest review!

Despite the underdeveloped characters and the often schematic dialogues, the pace of the story seems alert and suspenseful. Considering the topic of the novel, I'd be interested in reading more to find out who's responsible for Gordon's plane crash and how is everything related to Simms and his connections with the Russians. Thanks for your review!

'Volunteer Review: Russia's Biggest Hack by James E. Doucette gives a clear concept of the story of the book to the readers belonging to different realms of life. The reviewer has well handled the sublime plot of the story! Nice to learn about the reviewer's experience in cable industry and research in the telecommunications terminology!

The author unravels the mystery of Russia's interference in the US general election, adding a twist with a well-developed plot. Lovers of espionage and thriller stories will have a lot to take home from this book.

Russia’s Biggest Hack is a spy thriller novel that is very well written and has a plot in which the reader will be hooked from start to finish and could re-read it with no problem. Congratulations for making BOTD.

I enjoy spy thrillers and this plot sounds like a page-turner. I also like that fact that is based partially on the author's own experiences. Therefore I will be adding it to my to-read list. Thanks for your well-written review.

The use of technological terminology is a turn off for me, but the idea that this is a page-turning novel is exciting. I'm probably going to pass on this book, though. Great review!

Thanks for the review. Based on what I know so far about this book, I'll have to pass. The plot doesn't capture my interest all that much. Glad you enjoyed the book though!

I think I might take a look at this. Plot driven books are pretty fun to go through.

This sounds like an epic thriller. I like the fact that the good plot of the story is enough to make someone stick with the flow of the story from the beginning to the end.
