The story opens with such fantastic visuals that it is hard to imagine this NOT being a movie at some point. I'm rooting for Ariana to succeed!

It's such a complex book. It's amazing how the different themes are woven together. Ariana is a complex character that I sympathize more with as I get deeper into the book

Joe Coen
FBI

A cracking pace, with complex characters and motivations. It feels like a mix between The Fugitive, Point Break and Killing Eve. An ending that will make you go "Wow" and begging for a sequel.
