Review

The story is fast paced and quickly engaging... the anticipation builds up the further you get through this and you feel the need to keep going without stopping.

Technical detail is convincing but not too much to be bogged down, it was smartly blended into the thriller elements.

I love the way the author is able to combine so many genres and plot points effortlessly. It's a balanced read with a lot going on and surprises the entire way through.

Great read with a combination of intrigue and mystery with plenty of suspense.
