I would have liked it if the plot wouldn't have completely failed. That would have let the door open for another book!

I also liked how the true hero of the story is an anonymous brave person who works in shadows and for the welfare of our countries and planet. How many people are working every day to make this place safer? And they don't do it for glory or fame or money! I feel like this book should be a dedication to all the whistleblowers out there. I find the ending of the book very positive and satisfying.
Completely agree! It's those humble souls hidden in the shadows that often contribute the greatest amount to our overall safety and welfare. Yay for the little people who generally remain nameless.

It is always a bit tempting to leave the door of potential cracked open for a sequel! You make a good point ;)

Judging by the comments readers really liked Steve. So maybe he can have a book of his own.

I agree with you. We live our life peacefully because there are lots of people working every day for giving us safety. I also liked that part. And I liked how everything got resolved in the end.

I feel it, too. Abrupt ending! Our mind usually wanted more the romantic bond between the couple as the novel was denoted to them. I thought it might be in the ending, again as I said in the other topic, their romance was sugarcoated with the word 'honeymoon.'
Exactly! I feel this way too. I personally enjoyed Steve and Sharon's relationship better because I felt like there was a real connection between them.
Absolutely! I can't stop laughing when the team sung together, Steve and Sharon's relationship spark more gladly. :lol:

You're right! Just like Cynthia and Sky, somehow, their story was still continued in this book. Maybe, Kelly and Tom's honeymoon story will be found on the other series.

The ending felt pointless to me. Team USA could have stood by and done nothing, and the EMP still never would have detonated because of the Korean coder. The plot could have used some fleshing out.

I feel that maybe Sharon and Steve could be leading couple in next book more than Kelly and Tom. Have you read Cynthia and Sky's book?

I liked the ending ok but it just felt abrupt to me. All the loose ends were tied up so I guess that's what really matters!

The ending did seem rather abrupt similar to novels I have read by this author previously.

I have read only Cynthia and Dan ; Cyber War. I liked this one much better.

I thought the ending was pretty good. I did feel like all the ends were tied up. I do agree with lots of reviewers above that it did seem rushed.

Do you feel like build up was solid and then just everything kind off ended abrubtly?

The ending, as well as the book as a whole, was a mixed bag for me. I was glad that Kim Jung Lo was able to go back and be a farmer. The fact that Tom and Kelly got an extended honeymoon was good. The interactions between the world leaders seemed a bit cheesy. Overall, it was a decent ending.
