Disclaimer: I received a review copy from the author. Thank you Mr. Gallagher!I think some other reviewers have mentioned this too, but I absolutely adored the various locations that the author takes the reader to in this story. I am an avid traveler and I've always had a fascination with Russia ever since I started studying the language several years ago. I thought the scenes set in Russia were done very convincingly (I wouldn't know about North Korea and the Middle East, as I've never been there myself, but that was vividly described as well!) and the story was fast-paced and featured some interesting characters. I usually don't really read spy novels, so I can't boast great knowledge about other books in this genre, but it was definitely interesting. It felt very realistic.I did feel that the sentence structure was a bit stilted here and there (I think it was a punctuation issue) so that could have been edited a little bit better. I'd also recommend getting a more appealing cover, because I wouldn't pick out this book in an Amazon 'line-up', so to speak - this book deserves a cool spy & terrorist cover that conveys the message better!Overall, I would recommend this book to fans of action-packed spy novels, so if that's you, don't pass this one up!
