Searching for answers and anticipating a coming attack, Ben and a woman swept up in his misfortunes must travel across Europe to find the sniper who tried to kill him, the medic who saved his life, the schoolmaster who trained him, and an upstart hacker from his former team.

A Book Review of The Paris Betrayal
Originally Published on The Adventures of a Travelers Wife while on tour with Lone Star Literary Life
A book that will leave you with jetlag, The Paris Betrayal by James. R. Hannibal kept me guessing! He just keeps getting better as a writer and I LOVE it! The fast-paced storyline kept me reading until I had the story finished since I could not put it down.
The characters had some great dialogue and James R. Hannibal developed a great comradery between his characters, and I loved the whole Jason Boureish feel to them (I mean who does not love a good spy story?). Plus, all the characters were captivating right from the start and had clearly defined traits. James R. Hannibal gave such good details that I could picture each character in my mind clearly, without it seeming like an actual description; that’s how seamlessly he wove it into the actual story! I loved the different spy type of hints he gives through Ben, and they had interesting real-life applications too.
Overall, though, I loved this story most for being so REAL. I could believably see most everything in this book taking place around the world today; in part maybe because of some of the interwoven themes of the effects of Covid-19. James R. Hannibal takes it to the next level though with some seriously good scenes and locations that made think I was there too. This story ranks high on best plots I’ve ever read, and I highly recommend you put this one on you To Be Read list, you will not be disappointed.
A definite 5 out of 5 stars in my book, and one I will be rereading again at some point.
