Indeed an excellent first start to this new series. Anyone who enjoyed your writing style in the Epilogue of The Redhouse Project, will truly have fun here. This is almost 500 pages of the same adrenaline rush. Sign me up for the next volume.”M. Cabezas“Thank you for restoring the mindless fun into reading. It was just as you promised, simple uncomplicated rollercoaster fun. Loved the idea of merging some real life events into this fictional CIA espionage thriller. It was hard to pick a favorite chapter. There were too many orgasmic moments. My only gripe is that I would have liked to see the final showdown a longer event. It was an epic flash and I guess I just didn’t want it to end. That’s me personally.”L. Patterson
