Romance vs. Politics
I believe there is an even mix of politics and suspense as well as love and relationships.

For me by the time the cyber war part came about I was already not really caring about the book. But I do find that part more likable as romance is off for me in this one. I wish that romance went in a more suspense action way.Sinclairess wrote: ↑08 Jun 2019, 20:06 Hello all! Did you find yourself drawn more to the cyber war or the love triangle?

You are correct. I found it so fascinating that they could wage a war without being near the enemy. At times the romance made me forget how important their mission was. Perhaps if it was a separate story there would be more room to expand on the importance of this contemporary type of warfare.56lives wrote: ↑10 Jun 2019, 04:18 I was very much for the cyber warfare. This is a new kind of warfare that is gaining ground in the world, due to advances in information technology. It looks passive from the outside but it can have much more devastating and disruptive power than conventional warfare.

That part was quite entertaining! Felt like a movie.Helene_2008 wrote: ↑10 Jun 2019, 20:06 I'll admit I was more for the cyber war. I thought people's reactions in the love triangle were strange and I couldn't get into it. I really enjoyed when Glenn, Tim, and Garth get Major Skyler away from his men and watch the test drones on the White House lawn

That was my favorite scene as well. Garth and Tim were the most believable characters in the book, IMHOHelene_2008 wrote: ↑10 Jun 2019, 20:06 I'll admit I was more for the cyber war.

Cyber warfare is more interesting to me than romance. This is something new. Something that did not occur in previous times. Romance is always just romance.56lives wrote: ↑10 Jun 2019, 04:18 I was very much for the cyber warfare.

Same. It was way better than the romantic aspect. The cheating was like the most part that was given attention more than the occuring cyberwar.Nisha Ward wrote: ↑14 Jun 2019, 07:27 As much as the cyberwarfare aspect irks me, I like it way more than the romance so far. The cheating aspect left a terrible impression on me and then I just could not get into it after that.

Yeah. It felt like a subplot rather than the main part of the novel, so much so that I have to wonder how much research was actually done in comparison to the pregnancy aspect?briellejee wrote: ↑15 Jun 2019, 22:54Same.
