Lilibet has a very fresh voice combined with a humorous approach. Her reflections on the Box Girl job are interspersed with amusing stories and observations about her life, family and the world in general. Youll laugh out loud at some of the vivid descriptions of her Southern background intersecting with living in Connecticut and LA. She is insightful while being funny. A worthwhile read!

I loved this story.  Great,  well fleshed out characters.  When I was reading this I could literally see it in my mind and thought it would make an amazing movie. Apparently a lot of other people felt the same way!

I loved this book. This author has managed to make this subject so believable. I was transported into a world that felt so real that I am looking forward to reading more by this author so I can revisit it. I would love to see this story on the big screen as a movie!

Fascinating book that would make a great movie. The ending seemed contrived, but everything else about the book was full of fascinating insights into cultures and individual characters. Our book group loved it!

Robert Lange's book has believable characters, dialogue and situations, and includes an interesting plot twist which keeps the reader thinking and reading!  You won't put it down, and then you will want to read it again.  It would make a great movie, with potential for sequels.  I look forward to future books by this up and coming author!

The writing style and the true story are so compelling, I couldn't put it down.  The layers of the authors emotions, courage and integrity shared in this story is quite incredible and draws you in, as if you're in the embassy, courtroom, police station etc with him.  I wouldn't be surprised if there's a movie in the making soon.  I hope so anyway.
As a side note, I think it's great that the book starts with the issue of child abduction and how and where to get assistance if need be. Tyler didn't know the process, but was able to cobble together a team of pros to get the job done - you'll have to read it to see how that was accomplished!

This was one of the best books I have read in recent memory.  While reading the summary, I had a sense of how it may play out, but it was so much more than I had expected.  It would make a great story line for a movie!

A great read which I highly recommend as you step into another time and place but still makes you think about our social, governmental and environmental issues today.  The characters come to life instantly as does the action.  The plot and the development of the story are so well written that its hard to believe this is The author's first novel.  I couldn't put the book down and i enjoyed thinking about the issues when I wasn't reading it.  I found the title to be so appropriate.  I would love to read the next book by this author and I can totally see it as a hit motion picture.  Great book and I highly recommend it to all!

I loved the author's creativity as he combined fact with fiction to make a readable story! Absolutely everyone in our book club enjoyed it, too. We all wondered, why hasn't Hollywood put this story on film for movie goers to enjoy?

Terrific read.  First book I've read by this author,  but will be looking her up to see what else she has written and getting my hands on it.  That good and entertaining, unpredictable and believable, if you know anything about the Western Territory at that place and time.  Should be made into a series or movie.  Would like to see Tom Selleck, Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones play the male leads; can't imagine who might play the female lead.  Would be interesting....

I would definitely give this book a five star review.
Although it occurs in the far future, it was completely
believable. Held my interest from beginning to end.
Would love to see it made into a film version. Read
The  Fourth Civilization on my Kindle Fire, purchased
from Amazon.

Should a Hollywood major ever try to turn this into a movie, they certainly will go bancrupt - almost whole Europe is blown up in this book! The idea of this thriller is: action! It follows action, in between there is action and just for a change there is action. It is a page turner from the first to the last (well almost to the last, I could have done without the last chapter) line, it was the ideal companion on a long and very tiring bus ride and it will certainly do the same job on a beach or a transcontinental flight. The writer - I understand it is his first real novel, hence: Kudos! - blends in a lot of well recherched information about Germany, a love story (though that could be a little bit more explicit, bodily fluids are always so nice to read about - well, prude Americans...) and surprise, all kinds of action from pursuits (of course relentless) over duels (of course for death) to sniper attacks (of course precise). Entertaining, never boring, funny (great German jokes!) and always with a certain sense of irony.
To be clear: this is not a highly sohisticated composition, nor does it evolve around finely carved out characters, nor is it a piece of philosophy - read it as what it is - a wonderfuly entertaning suspense thriller - und you will get all what you can expect and sometimes a little more.
Five stars and waiting for the sequel!

That was a fantastic read! I'd highly recommend anyone to grab a copy, either in print (after the launch) or online - the book is 'unputdownable' and the characters are so believable. My only criticism was that it was too short - I could have read more and more - can't wait for the next one, or the movie!

This book had me hooked from the moment it began.  The suspense gave me insomnia...I just wanted to keep reading.  This would make a great movie, I could see it playing out in my head.  Very gifted writer.  Can't wait for the second book in the series!

Absolutely love how the characters are developed; the book is part mystery, part drama, part self-help.  Read this book over a long weekend.  It would make a fantastic feature-length movie with a great message!

I received this book from a dear friend and once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down. It challenged my thinking, was relevant for the ethical dilemmas we face today, and challenged me to think outside the box. I also very much look forward to the sequel. I think this book should be more widely published and made into a movie. Well done Mr. Salerni. It was an honor and privilege to be given the opportunity to read this book. Thank you for a great story!
