Chapter by Chapter features me reading one chapter (or possibly multiple chapter for this one) of the selected book at the time and reviewing it as if I were reviewing an episode of a TV show or an issue of a comic. There will be spoilers if you haven’t read to the point I have, and if you’ve read further I ask that you don’t spoil anything further into the book. Think of it as read-along book club.

I tried doing this with WordPress’s “block editor” since it’s trying to phase out the classic one, which doesn’t work on this site but oddly does for The Clutter Reports as far as going directly to it without a pre-created link. I still have to learn how to format the way I like there. I only mention it to pad out the intro.
Last time, we saw that father and son don’t get along, as Paul’s Russian counterpart doesn’t have as much love from his kid as Paul did from his two. If you recall, when he had to rush back to Op-Center his kids, not even knowing about the details of the bombing if they knew about the bombing at all, were totally on his side, encouraging him to go stop the bad guys. Orlov’s son, on the other hand, is one of the bad guys even if he isn’t fully aware of Dogin’s plans. He’d probably be all in on it given what we learned.
Tonight’s chapter is a short one, at four pages. That barely works for me but I could use the time and the next chapter is average length, so let us head to the skies and check in on Striker. I hope their flight goes better than the Ruskies’ flight.
