This book could have been another easy 5/5 from me. Incredibly written, interesting and very informative for me who knows very little about these topics or places. But alas we near the end.

as soon as the sub jumped tome I felt my heart sink. It is absolutely possible this could happen and it is even more possible something like that would happen because America is fucking round with shit they shouldn't. But when that happened I was disappointed, it gave the book a fantasy/Sci Fi spin that I wasn't looking for in this book based off the previous one.

This book took me so long to finish' it very nearly made it on my DNF list. Im really glad I pushed through because the twists and turns at the end were so worth it. Definitely going to try the next one now.

A lot of covering previous ground in this one and I didn't feel I gained to much from it. Really looking forward to the next one though, major cliff hanger at the end.

Not quite as griping and surprising as previous JP Delaney books but was a good quick easy read. Finished it in an evening after work.
