Karl Braungart

Counter Identity is the second book in the Remmich Miller series, and it maintains the same exciting pace and action-packed pages that captivated me the first time in the first book. This series has introduced me to a whole new genre, and I am glad I have branched out as I know this isn't the type of book I would usually pick up.

Now, since Paul did such a great job the first time (the events that happen in the first book), he is given another mission. He is going to be sent out to abduct somebody else. But of course, not everything goes as smoothly as you would expect it to.

Personally, to understand the recurring characters better, it would be best to read the first book. You get a lot more insight based on what they have done and why they do 'certain' things in this book. However, Counter Identity still gives you a general idea about the characters from this one, as well as a general idea of the story itself.

Now, go into this book with expectations of an action-packed journey, because it will keep you on your toes. The unfolding events, the characters, and the conclusion will leave you yearning for more. This book will no doubt give you a satisfying reading experience.… (mais)

Review of 'Counter Identity' by Karl Braungart – A Rollercoaster in the World of Espionage
Okay, so, diving into Karl Braungart’s “Counter Identity,” I was like, “Wait, is this going to be as twisty as a bag of pretzels or what?” Spoiler: It totally is.
First off, this book is the second in the Remmich series. If you haven't read the first, “Lost Identity,” don’t panic. Braungart's like that cool teacher who gives you the CliffsNotes version at the beginning. You're welcome, latecomers.
Our main guy, Paul Remmich, is back and he's gotten himself in deeper with the Iraqi Tariq’Allah folks. They're like, “Hey, kidnap this US intelligence dude, Eric Miller.” And I'm sitting there thinking, “Paul, buddy, this is not a great career move.”
The thing about Braungart’s writing – it’s like he's had five espressos and is relaying a story at a breakneck speed. You’re there for it, but you also kinda want to tell him to take a breath. The plot’s got more twists than my intestines after Thanksgiving dinner.
Character-wise, Paul and Eric are like two sides of a very messed-up coin. Their dynamic is as complicated as trying to explain TikTok to your grandma. It’s fascinating, but you're not sure she’s getting it.
Let’s talk style. Braungart’s got this background in military intelligence, and it shows. It’s like he’s sprinkling in these nuggets of spy wisdom, and I’m here collecting them like a conspiracy theorist at a UFO convention.
But, and there’s always a but, sometimes it feels like the book is sprinting, and I'm in my pajamas trying to keep up. The pace is exhilarating, sure, but sometimes you need to slow down and smell the espionage... or something like that.
“Counter Identity” is a whirlwind. It’s like if Jason Bourne had a baby with a soap opera. Intriguing, a bit over the top, but you can't look away. For those who like their spy stories with a side of “What the heck just happened?”, this one's for you. And now, I'm off to read the next one, because who needs sleep anyway?​​​​.… (mais)

OMG everything is heating up and I cannot wait for the third installment of the Remmich/Miller Siri‘s The Tera Cala spi Netwerk wants to use Paul again but this time they want to use him to get his best friend Captain Miller to work for them and even show Paul how he is supposed to do it. This is just a minor part of a bigger story because true to form the military has too many checks and balances to have one of the best although retired working for Tara Cala. General Ed Sutherland is getting closer or will it be the intended victim Eric Miller himself who helps save his doomed friend? There is so much I want to say about the second book in this series but it would give too much away and OMG it is getting so good. The author writes military jargon as if it is his second language . I don’t know if the story is ramping up but I don’t remember feeling this way at the end of the last story. Fatal identity is the next book and I Think I’m going to listen to the audio I cannot believe the author has written 4 books and so far I have loved them all. What a brilliant idea the books read like thrillers and I cannot get enough of them. Please forgive any mistakes as I am blind and dictate my review.… (mais)

This book is a marvelous work by the skilled writer Karl Braunghart, adding to the Remmich/Miller series. Even though the characters were introduced and drafted very well in the first part, you can start reading this book by skipping the first part. This reveals the beauty of a writer's writing style in creating independently woven stories in a series.

The characters are drafted as per their requirements to crave intrigue and relevance. Their challenges in terms of drugs, hypnosis, and conditioning would keep you on edge, and the storyline involving the truth of Tariq Allah's group would unfold an intriguing version of the book.
This book has certainly increased expectations for a crime thriller book. The plots are serving the interest and relevance to the readers in a very well-weighed amount. I was deeply engrossed to read "What happens next" and "How reality unfolds." This is a definite travel partner for a long journey.… (mais)
