    Book Review: Foreign Influence 📚

    I’m finding it generally helpful to read these books back-to-back. There are many recurring characters and sub-plots, and it’s much easier to keep all of my facts straight when I’m immersed in the Scot Harvath universe. This book still had some Middle Eastern aspects, but there was a bit more travel in Europe, which was a nice break.

    Would I recommend: YES

    ISBN: 978-1416586609
