**3-Star Review: *Whiskey Tango Foxtrot* by David Shafer**

*Whiskey Tango Foxtrot* by David Shafer is a tech-thriller with a satirical edge, weaving together the lives of three protagonists—Leila, Leo, and Mark—as they uncover a conspiracy led by a secretive organization aiming to control the world’s data. The story explores themes of privacy, corporate power, and resistance, set against a fast-paced, near-future backdrop.

Shafer’s writing is sharp and often humorous, with a style that captures the chaotic nature of the digital age. The novel’s premise is compelling, and Shafer does a great job of addressing real-world issues related to data privacy and surveillance. The main characters are relatable and flawed, each bringing a unique perspective that makes the story feel authentic.

However, *Whiskey Tango Foxtrot* sometimes suffers from pacing issues and narrative tangents that can slow the story down. While the humor and satire add flavor, some of the philosophical digressions feel forced, and the plot occasionally loses momentum. The mix of genres can also make the tone feel inconsistent, especially for readers looking for a straightforward thriller.

Overall, *Whiskey Tango Foxtrot* is a thought-provoking read that offers clever commentary on modern issues. While it may not satisfy everyone, fans of speculative fiction with a satirical twist will find it an intriguing, if occasionally uneven, ride.
