Paid Beta Readers Wanted: Fast-Paced Military/CIA Thriller (191 Pages) – Action Fans Only Job Description: I just finished the final draft of my first book - a military techno-thriller, THE MATCHBOOK (191 pages), and I need a few people to read it and give me honest critiques. CRITICAL NOTE: I am NOT looking for a Harvard English professor, a professional editor, or anyone who wants to grade my grammar. Keep your red pen at home. I don't care about commas. I care about the story. The book is targeted at "guys who don't read" (ironic I know) - think Ben Mezrich meets Jack Ryan. The Hook: Driven by survivor's guilt from losing his best friend on 9/11, a brilliant but socially anxious CIA cryptographer is pulled out of his basement office and forced to survive elite Navy SEAL training in Coronado. His mission: unlock an old Soviet nuclear registry before a rogue terrorist can unleash it. It’s got heavy tactical action, cryptography, and a story about brotherhood. What I want from you: I will send you the PDF. All I want is a brutally honest, 1-page summary of your thoughts when you finish. I'll ask you a few simple questions like: Did you get bored anywhere? Did you actually like the main character, or was he annoying? Did the Navy SEAL training and the firefights feel realistic? Would you buy this at an airport bookstore? Would you recommend this book? Requirements: Must love thrillers, military tech, or action movies. Must be able to finish a 191-page (only 40K words so lots of spacing on those pages) read within 7–10 days. Must give it to me straight. If a scene sucks, tell me.
