Kind of a different read after all the special op's butt kicking characters I have subjected myself to

Well drawn characters. Plot a little predictable. I hope his other books come out in English soon.

very boring. Frustrating prose. Do not waste your time

I can't think of a book that I enjoyed less. Poorly structured. Characters that i didn't care about. Confused and confusing story. Just a bad read all the way around.

Unlike John le Carre's novels, which I enjoy, this realistic spy thriller ends with something more than disappointment and emptiness. It is very well written, very realistic and also very satisfying.

This is a very interesting book, truly immersive in China culture, with realistic well fleshed main characters. It quickly draws the reader in and keeps being captivating to the very end. Very good!

I read this in two evenings. China is the new Cold War and Brooke's captures it well. It's a page turner.

This is a very interesting and well paced novel. The subject matter is extremely relevant to today's geopolitical landscape and provides keen insight into covert operations and advancing technologies. I look forward to reading more from Mr. Brookes.
