Sequel to "Domino Principle" this is a slightly different book. While "Domino Principle" was written from the first person perspective this one is written in the more standard way - we follow both Roy's and other storylines in parallel.
Due to this novel is not that immersive as the "Domino Principle" but since author's intent was to shed more light on conspiracy I don't see how this could be achieved otherwise.
Especially blood-freezing are goals of the conspirators - maybe far-fetched in the time when the novel was written but not today. Once more it is proven that everyday life is sometimes stranger than fiction.
Again book without the happy ending (no way for the happy ending at all considering the involved parties) but with ending that is very..... let's say surprising, I don't want to spoil anything to anyone.
Highly recommended for all thriller fans.… (plus d'informations)

This is a book in which there is no happy ending because the main character is facing truly insurmountable odds. He's dealt lousy cards so to speak and he knows it. His only goal is to just try to survive.
Highly recommended to all thriller fans.
