I especially liked how the author treated the countries in the book. Even though they are made up countries, …

Why this book was even published I have no idea. It seems a bit late for this kind of stuff. Maybe when X-Files was still the rage people might have been more interested in reading the “real” case files from the CIA and the FBI and whatnot, …
