This was a really enjoyable thriller novel, it had everything that I was looking for and enjoyed about the genre. The characters worked with the story and I was glad I got to read this. Michael Cary Anders has a great writing style and glad that it worked with the story-line I was expecting.

This is an accomplished debut novel about a French news agency striving to provide verified international news stories before any of their competitors. The author, Michael Cary Anders, has worked as a journalist for more than twenty years and his novel is clearly based on personal experiences in a real life news agency.
The drama comes when management proposes a restructuring of the company which would cause a third of the work force to lose their jobs. There's a strike, union ballot, behind the scenes government negotiations and a clash of personalities stretching right across the world.
The novel is set about fifteen years ago and has a backdrop of world politics, attempted military coups, contagious diseases and natural disasters. This is a thinking person's novel with well-rounded characters and believable plotting.
