As resident of a nation which has had its own confrontations with China I can see the book being real life relevant to you.Bill Selneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17268006369157307593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644690488802388716.post-39292882486900562342014-06-19T19:28:47.980-06:002014-06-19T19:28:47.980-06:00Margot: Thanks for the comment.

As a mild reference point, in the past the two countries have been at loggerheads over volatility of the Chinese Yuan. The espionage angle makes this novel more interesting, I think.Prashant C.

And the idea of bonds sales patterns being an important clue - that's innovative too. I was wondering about the credibility of everything, but as you say, there are some books that you just want to 'dive into' without worrying too much. A good thriller is like that and this sounds like a good thriller.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
