No pun intended, the author is clearly a master of thriller. The suspense is taking the revelations and all that more amazing each other. He can keep us in suspense from the first pages and, until we close the book. Still, I would say I have not been blown away with Alex, but honestly it would have been difficult. What made me a little annoyed, too, is the attitude of the commander. We understand very well what drives him to break all taboos but rejects all hands stretched repeatedly and persists in suicidal behavior. After a while, it gets really annoying, especially since everyone knows that it will end badly: he, we, his friends, his superiors and even the wicked. And of course, it does not miss.
The course of action leads us to the inevitable end. As I said, I loved the revelations, the book is full of surprises, you never get bored, but I can not help but to have hope for the best commander.
