The Leveling is an action packed, edge-of-your-seat, suspense thriller! With incredible details on tensions in the middle-east, heart-accelerating action, and characters that are realistic and laudable, this novel is a must read!
The Leveling is a sequel to the first Mark Sava spy novel, The Colonel's Mistake, but can easily be read as a stand alone book. From the first pages, the story is gripping. The action includes a mission gone wrong, government corruption, complex political aims, and ex-CIA agents who soon find themselves on a life or death mission to save one of their own. The story is excellently written, easy to follow and exciting. The characters are dynamic, well-developed, and one cannot help but cheer for them. With show more incredible behind-the-scenes information, surveillance, and creativity, Mark Sava and Daria Buckingham are the last hope to save Deck.
Reading this book is an adventure and I absolutely hope that the Mark Sava spy thrillers continue! I give this book a solid 5 stars!! Excellent from start to finish! show less

The Leveling, by Dan Maynland (A Mark Sava spy thriller). My first by this author. Set in contemporary Afghanistan, Iraq, and the other “stan” countries. An easy and pretty good read. I’ll probably read more by Maynard.
Underdeveloped story line and disconnected narration. Extremely hard to follow.
