Congrats on BOTD and to the author!I find it difficult to understand some military terms used in the book.But what I loved
about the story is the main character Capt Sara Lopez.Such girl power!If it were'nt for "La Capitana" I would have not read it .A good book to read and also to remember the 9/11.Sweet smile and cheers!

Amazing military-action novel that relives the trade-centre bombing. A definite 4 out of 4 stars rating. Congrats #BOTD
Excellent review that highlighted all the best moments of the book.

I definitely plan to read today's #BOTD! Thank you for your insightful review! The September 11 attack on America is something none of us will ever forget. Although this book is fiction, it has still greatly captured my interest. Thank you, again!

Great review. A slow-paced storyline seemed off especially when it's packed of actions, but author's writing skills are compelling and gripping that sure it would get readers excite for what happened in it.

Thanks for the review! I like reading books like this but I prefer them to be a little fast-paced.

This one sounds like a good one. Thanks for the good review. Sounds like it is action packed once you get past the slow start.

I appreciate the honest review. I think the constant use of military jargon would definitely bog this down for me, as it is not a field I'm proficient in. However, I can see where those with a military background could skim right through all that and enjoy a story that parallels some of their own life experiences. Sept 11 is a poignant event that gives ground for a myriad of possibilities and subplots. But, for me, it's still a little too raw and I don't know that I could stomach re-living such a tragedy, even through fiction.

I'm aware that there could have been many more incidents like 9/11 had the intelligence services not prevented them. Intelligence is a fascinating subject, so this sounds like an interesting topic for a novel!
