Point of View: This author does well to bring out Randall's viewpoint. Through the eyes and thoughts of Randall you will lose yourself in his world.Voice: Things are not as they seem. At least this is what I drew from the story another reader may decide on another. I think this author has suspicions of everything and everyone.Character Development: We meet many memorable characters both good and not-so-good and yes evil. The author does a superb job of bringing these characters to life in a book that is exceptionally plot-driven. In hindsight I would place his character development along the lines of James Patterson. So much so I felt as if I was reading a book written by one of Mr. Patterson's ghost writers.Plot: This is where the author excells the most. After the first few pages you will find yourself wrapped up so thickly by the plot you will find it hard to let go and there is not any escape route. For those that like non-stop action, here you go.Dialogue: I did not notice the dialogue so I must conclude that it felt right and just. To explain further, in reading the story I got so wrapped up in the story that the dialogue just gelled with what was going on. Therefore, I have to conclude that the author did his homework and made sure the dialogue fit.Pacing: Non-Stop Action, Adventure and Intrigue. This is how the author made his secret plans on not allowing the reader to put his book down. You can't do it because all you can think of is what happens next.Setting: Nazis, Russians, Espionage and the Cold War. We know it happened and we know it existed so it is easy to fall in line and believe the setting. This author obviously did his homework on all these things as his setting was designed flawlessly.Continuity: The story closes well and leaves nothing for the reader to question other than what Randall will do next. No one can make it through that much action and not keep it up. Hint Hint to the author.
