Loved this book!

+ A truly expat experience
+ Overall a good read

THis book was a page turner from beginning to end. The dialogue was realistic and the characters were fascinatingly flawed. I loved the use of the arctic setting as well. I cannot wait for Blood Print, the next thriller due out by this author!

The Last Patriot

+ Wow, a thrill ride from todays headlines

Another Brad Thor thriller that can't be put down once started. Much of it is/has happened; it's difficult to dicipher the fiction from nonfiction.
