Johnny's abduction brought chills down my body. From his sudden hijack by the MCP leaders then brought to a small village in the middle of a heavily densed jungle. His intelligence skills couldn't help him out of the jungle. The environment wasn't favourable to him that he couldn't have a good night rest. I kept asking myself, How will he survive? Will he find his way back to his team?

What scene got you thrilled?

The rescue of Samuel Martins from the bandits by the MSS was really tense and thrilling.

For me, the introduction in the first chapter was captivating.

I love the description of the "art of abducting" Jonny, too.

Especially, for the scene where he was helped even by one of the bandits.

I think that everyone has a soft nature. We just wish it is all we see all the time from every person.

This nature will make the society better, indeed.

Thank you.

I think Cook’s abduction was thrilling but so was the rescue. Too many questions while he was all alone with his captives also kept me on my edge because we will never know what will happen by then.

Definitely, scenes with much suspense are evident. One cannot fail to hold his/her breath in urge to know what happens next to Cook. He’s sweating profusely and staggering. Who doesn’t want to know what has happened to him? When he’s captured by the bandits, one would want to know where he’s taken, what will be done to him and most importantly what results to his kidnap?

There’s a car borrowed from Browning that groans and struggles at thirty five miles. One would also want to know whether it gets to where it was meant to be.

I will have to say the rescue of Colonel Martin, considering his condition. It had me on edge.

I have this funny habit of trying to read way too fast during suspenseful scenes. Sometimes I need to literally hide the next paragraph with my hand so I don't try to read two paragraphs as one time. Am I crazy or did anyone else do that?

I did this as well!! My eyes literally wander to the next because of the suspense and the want to know what will happen next!

Cant say that I hide the next portion with my hand but I am overly aware of any dialogues going on in the tense scenes. I really jave a bad habit of skipping to the dialogues and many a times as a result of that I have to read the whole scene.

One suspenseful scene was when Amal followed a tall man from a jeep into the Sam Poh Tong limestone caves when the man could have been Pieter de Groote who had murdered several people. It was so dangerous to go in alone without backup and no one knew his whereabouts!

The most suspensful scene of the book that thrilled me was when Jacko, Jamie and Sarah were rescuing Johnny, and they were in dire danger of being caught.

I'm so happy to hear that I'm not the only person who does this! I find I also do it a lot with JR Ward books.

Again towards the end also when the team was on the attempt to rescue Matins. It was also a well crafted scene full of suspense.

Probably when Johnny is rescued. I like to listen to instrumental music while I read so that probably helped put me on edge as well.

That's a nice strategy to ease up the tension. I like that.
