The Cassandra Compact

The geopolitical tensions add so much tension, but I'm curious if the author drew from real events or crafted a completely fictional scenario.

The nonstop action kept me hooked, but at times I wondered if the story allowed for moments of reflection or if it was all about the thrill.

The characters' personal stakes really brought the story to life. I'm curious whether this approach was planned from the start or developed during writing.
