" I enjoyed this book but I think things always seemed to go the protagonist's way a little too much. Every plan worked. "

" Not my favorite Brad Thor novel but still far superior to most thrillers out there. Part of the problem is Mr. Thor brings the narrative to a screeching halt with a long rant about the loss of privacy in this country and the American government's complicity in abetting this loss. And it is chilling to wonder why the government is collecting so much data on it's citizens - just what are law enforcement and intelligence agencies doing with it - but it drags the plot down as he envisions an information Pearl Harbor that for this reader didn't quite click.

" What a great read! I really enjoyed the pace of the ending. Some books have too short of an ending where there is no meat to the ending. This book has a great depth to the ending! Really liked it! "

" Good spy stuff...too much technical jargon that could have been left out, but overall did really enjoy it. Will have to read more with the character Scott Harvath. "

" I bought this as an airport book based on the cover blurbs and hoping for a diverting thriller. I suppose its target audience is potential militia members with a cartoonish understanding of politics and business. Chapter 33 was the breaking point (though I did drag myself through the rest of the book). In that chapter, one cartoon character, Nicholas, outlines a confused unholy alliance between high level government figures and a nefarious defense/security contractor. The main character, Harvath, listens as a cypher feeding lines solely to advance Nicholas' narrative. Never once does he ask a probing question based on even a perfunctory knowledge of corporate governance, the media, or the Internet. Too often thriller authors can't seem to write characters with the brains to have achieved their positions. Sometimes that's excusable for the plot. This one goes way too far. "

" Interesting plot, good action, and intrigue. Thor is a reasonably good author, but does a lot of telling, not showing. I really enjoyed the first chapter. Pulled me right into the book. The book slowed in the middle and the ending was OK. Definitely get a few free sample chapters on the Kindle and see if you like it. "

" Well-researched with an interesting plot; however, the writing was cliched & included a lot of tangents that weren't needed. Also, Thor seemed to be reaching with many of his segues and with connecting events. Lastly, the ending was tied up too easily. "

" I loved it to me Scot Harvath is an intriguing character. His character is very believable. To me Brad is one of the best political thriller writers out there today. I have read the whole series of books he has written and i love it. "

" LOVED this book. Love all of Brad Thor's books, really. This one sucked me in from the very beginning and caused me to ignore my family a little and stay up late reading it. The technology in this book is very scary and very real. "

" The scary part of this book is that all the technology mentioned actually exists. What happens if the surveillance technology we have to spy on foreign governments was turned on the American people? That's the premise of this book. Excellent read and quite a page turner. "

" Scarry exciting. We read in this book about government plans to use the next cyberwar to take over the internet and then watch, on TV, the Defense Secretary announce a potential cyberwar with Iran. Very timely book. I didn't like all the f-words. "
