My rating: 5 Stars
 
My opinion: I am thoroughly convinced after reading this that Allan Leverone is a literary genius. His ability to write quality literature within multiple genres is dynamic. This book took off from page one and didn't stop. When the author first asked me to review, I have to be honest and say I was a bit concerned. I love Allan's writing of his horror stories, but, in general, can't stand political thrillers. I had a lot of faith in the author, though...and he didn't steer me wrong. Although this is a political thriller, I don't think it was as heavy as one by authors such as Vince Flynn. For the female audience, there was even a bit of romance or sexual tension in the book which I found I enjoyed and greatly lightened the book. 

This book flowed so well that I ended up reading this book in 3 hours. In general, this is pretty much the standard with his writing though.

Would I recommend? : Yes, it was funny I thought this would be a guy's book (yes, I am being sexist), but as a female I thoroughly enjoyed it.
