4.5

This book could have been another easy 5/5 from me. Incredibly written, interesting and very informative for me who knows very little about these topics or places. But alas we near the end.

as soon as the sub jumped tome I felt my heart sink. It is absolutely possible this could happen and it is even more possible something like that would happen because America is fucking round with shit they shouldn't. But when that happened I was disappointed, it gave the book a fantasy/Sci Fi spin that I wasn't looking for in this book based off the previous one.
