I can't praise this book enough. A cross between a Clancy novel and a crime drama. Great characters that you can cheer for, page turning plot and excellent action. I will be looking for more to read from Mr Halstead.

4.0 out of 5 stars An interesting read.
Reviewed in Australia on 28 March 2019

The storylines in the book were very good and kept me hooked. My only frustration was that the various threads were all a bit short. What I mean is that the author had about three or four story lines and changed between them; a common writing style. However I found they were too short with the author cutting away to another line too quickly. Rather than keep the story rollicking along it was more like start stop traffic.

Overall though I enjoyed the book and will read another of the authors

It was a pleasure to read a story not full of profanity and sex scenes, yet with a good old fashioned plot. Thanks it is nice to know a book can be still be published without all the garbage.

This story managed to keep my interest from beginning to end.
Well written and a mostly believable plot. With the exception of getting the train from one track to the other.

Ted Halstead has crafted an excellent story with well developed characters that kept me so enthralled I ended up reading without stopping from start to finish. I sincerely hope that some of these characters appear in future books by Mt. Halstead

4.0 out of 5 stars 緻密な構成，ちょっと設定が古いか
Reviewed in Japan on 3 December 2018
Verified Purchase
緻密に構成されている。日本で数多く出版されているいわゆるノベルズとは一線を画している。一言でいえば，ちゃんと文芸になっている。途中（半分くらい）までわくわくドキドキで読み進んでしまった。英語も平易なので飛行機のなかでもすらすら読める。残念なことに現実の国際情勢のほうが非常識になってきてしまったので，北朝鮮と韓国が戦うという構図が時代遅れになってしまった。新たに描くとすれば，北朝鮮と韓国が一体となって駐留米軍を攻撃するという設定のほうがリアリティがあるだろうか。それと，緻密な構成で物語を綴っているうちに時間切れ（ページ数切れ？）になってしまって，戦闘シーンが尻切れになってしまったのが残念。娯楽作品の読者としては，そこも求めているのだ。というわけで星ひとつマイナス。でも楽しめました。

Entertaining book. Although the author could have done better on the military side of the conflict, his expertise of the diplomatic and spook aspects shone through. I’ll look forward to reading more of his work.
