Ratings and reviews

Loads of action, stuff being blown up...and a nice twist at the end. Don't look for factual errors, just sit back and enjoy the ride.

Very typical most likely future headlines somewhere in the world very realistic things like this are all to common, some naieve uni grad pen pusher with a top job always gets outperformed by practical rookies/guards and normally end up being the instant backbones. so typical in this day n age. Great effort.

Fun, well-written action in the vein of the first three Die Hard movies (i.e; the good Die Hards).
