This book is very engaging, most especially it pulls you form one scene to another. Mostly about crime action and detective stuff. It takes you to a whole world of imagination. I highly recommend it.

I only read the first chapter, but wow. It was pretty good. Maybe a few grammatical errors, but nothing too detrimental. A good start to an even better thriller, I'm sure. :wink:

This definitely sounds like my kind of book! It gets down to the nitty-gritty of detective work with logical proof to back up suspicions. Can't wait to sink my claws in. Great review here.

The summary of the book in your review was very whole and attention grabbing. I love how you connected the book to situations of the real world and included that it was an international concept. I would have liked to see more on why you gave it the star rating you did and what about the action scenes made the book so good.

I'd like to follow Ulrich as he gets to the bottom of this nightmare. Cybercrime is a reality of our time. Right now, I can't leave home without my cellphone. I can't imagine what chaos will ensue if the phone networks will be disabled. Woe to us, hapless and helpless folks!

I am not usually a fan of spy/thriller novels but your review definitely makes the book sound worth reading especially the fact that this type of criminal activity could actually happen. My entire life is on my smartphone so I can imagine the scenario very vividly. I found that your review was very detailed and enthusiastic but gave so much away that I would not really need to read the book as all the essential points are already right there. Otherwise, it was really great. Thank you

I enjoy reading thrillers and was immediately sucked into this one. It's great how it has such a believable basis of cyper crime, and how frightening realistic it is. Great review

This does indeed sound like something that could actually happen today. The detective work sounds very interesting. Again, the way in which they pick up on the intelligence sounds plausible. The chase scenes and fight scenes must keep the pace fast.

It does sound like the plot is ripped from today's headlines re cyber attacks, especially given the recent Equifax situation. Thanks for your detailed review.

Latest Review: "The Dancing Barber" by AC Michael

Post by Frenjie »

This is a very timely and relevant novel. Though it is just a fiction, there is a possibility of it happening in real life anytime, anywhere. Thus, I think it's essential to have a read of it not only for entertainment but for educational purposes as well. Hats off to the author for having done a great work with well developed characters and believable premises. Thank you for the well-written and interesting review.

I agree that this could take place right here and now or, as you phrased it, to be "taken from today's headlines". It may therefore be a good tale of warning, but I'm just not into this genre of books, so I'll pass. Thanks for the great review, though!
