Seems interesting! I like how it is about characters with hidden pasts and how they all have "baggage" between each other and of course against their enemy. Reminds me of the "Taken" series of movies, with the main character playing "cat-and-mouse" type actions to save his daughter.

This book is very dope, rating, and price wise.
Crime filled books and underworld books are always good-reading books for me, especially when they involve old soldiers, combats men and mercenaries. I can't wait to read this book till the end

Reading the sample, the errors were a turn-off for me. I might give it another chance given your praise of the plot.

I just finished reading the first 10 pages and found 3 grammatical errors as well. The plot sounds incredibly interesting, but I find it hard to focus and fully enjoy the story when there are so many errors.

I couldn’t agree more. I had trouble finishing the sample after finding so many errors.

The wording issues would also drive me crazy. I read the sample of this book, and there is one in the very first paragraph: entangle used instead of untangle. So this book will be a pass for me! But thanks for the good review!
I quite agree with you on the wordings issue. There is even passers bye instead of passersby in the very first paragraph. From the title I expected a senseless killing spree, but from your review, the book appears to be deeply engaging, fast paced and unpredictable in a good way. I hope to read it.

I loved the scene that involved several actors, but the spirit of revenge did not get over me because for me I think that David should have tried to understand why people wanted his life and sought to leave the country for his security before contacting his army friends because nothing guarantees that he will follow this perilous mission he knows fixed himself. and also can be tried to disappear from the viewers of his last since he was a veteran veteran but he preferred retaliated.
thank you for the good review!

The story looks a little complicated to me, but I like the fact that is realist and there are no bad or good characters. Even though this is not my favourite genre I would give this book an opportunity. Thanks for the review!
