I’m not really into reading Political Thriller books, as much as I would want to watch a movie about it, but most of the insights and the reviews I’ve read seemed interesting enough, I’d actually would want to read it! This looks like a really good Hollywood Blockbuster in the making🤗Congratulations to the Author on the #BOTD! :tiphat:

I like political thrillers and this looks interesting. Too bad about the weak ending though. Thanks for your review!

A political thriller centering around terrorism and revenge sounds intriguing. That the book is well written and executed is to the author's credit. Too bad about the flipping point of view, the errors, and the pacing issues. I don't read the genre, but I am glad you enjoyed it despite those issues. Thank you for the review!

Twists and turns are good, but i also like to have characters that I can connect to. It would also good to have a good Arab character to balance out some views. Thanks for the informative review.

This is an amazing fast-paced political thriller full of action, adventure, espionage, and a captivating plot to hook any reader. It is temporarily free on Amazon Kindle and has a masterfully written OnlineBookClub review. I rated it 4 out of 4 stars. Congrats on the BOTD.

I tend to stay away from politically-charged books. This one sounds exciting with a few unexpected twists. I probably wouldn't enjoy all the loose ends and the lack of focus on a particular character for me to rally behind.

Israeli Mossad's training make me wonder and a bit interesting. However, the title is an indication that this book is full of bloody scenario through the word assassins. Thanks for the review.

I usually stay away from political mysteries but this one sounds very interesting. I read a book about an assassin and loved the insight into his psyche. Here there are two assassins and they want to settle down. I think it will be very enlightening reading about their motivations, thought processes and the overall character development of such characters. Have already downloaded the book and will read it soon.

I'm glad that this book has a great plot. It's amazing how things turn against you at the last moment, when you decide to change for the better. I am not much of a fan for political reads so I will pass this one. Thanks for an amazing review. Congratulations BOTD.

I'm having mixed feelings about this book based on the review. It seems like someone could really love it or really hate it. I'm checking out the book now!

This book reminds me of Liam Neeson's Taken franchise, since both are about very capable and deadly men protecting their youngs. It sounds like a well-executed, fast-pace thriller. Thanks for the review.

This books plotting is amazing. I give it a four star as I touches my interest in the assassin's and their greatest move.. surely the author was not wrong with the recipe for the book.. every minute I've spent reading this book surely has not gone to waste. You get a four star..am waiting for another thriller from you

This sounds like a highly thrilling book with a fast pace. A book about assassins leading double lives is intriguing. The confusion regarding changing point-of-view may be a deterrent, though, for me. Thanks for the great review!
