Not the usual science fiction adventure

I adored this book. I was hooked from the first chapter and couldn't wait to finish it. I decided to listen to this book once I ran out of the Science Novels (I'm a little obsessed) following Unidentified. If you want a younger take on a pseudo spy thriller, this is your book. Thank you for the entertainment!

A Young Fencer "Foils" Plot To Destroy Americs

Richards consistently writes characters that I enjoy and connect to. Their struggles become my own as I follow them through the book.

The unique setting for the bulk of book was something and somewhere I never would have thought of.

Great book guys. Buy the Audible version of this if you can!!!
