      There are basically no “fantasy” elements, the book keeps you on edge with every page, its the most tense book i have ever read, i fr could NOT LAY IT DOWN until it was thru. Stuff why u should read the book:

      • Liquid nitrogen hand granades
      • magnetic pneumatic shootable grappeling hook
      • French special forces beeing assholes
      • more Deus ex machina moments than i ever saw before in a singular book
