I found this book to be an enjoyable read, full of action, sex and intrigue! It kept me on the edge of my bed.....I like to read at night before going to sleep......Only problem was I couldn't stop reading, so I didn't get enough sleep! I really enjoyed this book!
Very good story line and character development. There were a few awkward transitions but overall with a bit of polish, this could be very good novel. I look forward to reading the next book.
Good plot & good read. I don't know if Odessa is really like the city described in the book, but does that matter? We're fond of fiction, less of facts, and the book is not a documentary. After all, a paratrooper who's got no choice but to stand against some former Speznaz thugs is a good subject, and the reader doesn't mind that the morally better side sort of wins, or at least gets out of some trouble in one piece just to get into some other trouble we're looking forward to read about. This book is about survival in a world that's mass producing victims of all kinds. In this sense I find the book contemporary, close to the world we're living in.
Research material for the book--right on!! Excellent read! Author followed the plot--did not get side-tracked. Some of the reading was not smooth for me because I am an American and our language is slightly different. Prepositions and articles used differently. In addition, I might suggest not to use slangs that are prevalent in England, but not the setting of the book. For example, 'bloody hell' is an English slang--not a Ukraine one. Another reference to a 'civil war' referring I imagine to England's civil war? Otherwise, I was very absorbed in the timeline of events--engaged my attention throughout the book!!! I hope they make this into a movie--excellent topic of interest! Adventure, thriller, and romance!
the mood of the story is warm and the dialogues crisp and vivid. Calls the imagination of the reader to full horse power.All the best for your next projects Sir.
