I am eternally committed to staying apolitical and nonpartisan. Nonetheless, safeguarding a country's citizens is definitely our public servants' duty. However, deliberately instigating events and setting up people to warrant injustice isn't justifiable at all in my own opinion. Thank you for a superbly written and insightful review.

Similarly, Bello included cyber specialists in both the police and criminal defense teams, but their "expertise" was nothing more than creative google searches. Cyber experts, both in private investigation firms and with the police, would have a much larger arsenal in their digital toolbox than mere internet searches. Finally, and what I disliked the most about this book, is how it ended. I'm not talking about the conflict resolution part of the novel, but rather how the last few chapters seemed to drag on.
Lol, yes re: the cyber experts! Agree that the resolution dragged and felt a little less satisfying because of that.

However, I just feel like it hits to close to home for me right now. I try to stay away from anything political at the moment. I will keep this in mind for the future, but I don't think I can handle it right now. Thanks!

I just finished this book and would definitley shy away from it given your thoughts on reading anything based on the current political status of this country. I am not a political person, but it did bother me that the author didn't really try too hard in creating his own character - rather he used his book as a platform to slander the current POTUS. It just came off as shady to me.

I have recently finished this book and thought it was ok. It bothered me though, that considering this was a "Zachary Blake" novel - he really did not play a huge role in the book. I feel the author could have included him a little more into the story line.
