The Zurich Decision Paperback

I am very rarely a fan of thrillers, investigation stories, criminal stories etc, but this book was an absolute delight to read. I loved the international side of it and the fact that Mr. Brady well described some cultural and architectural traits to where he was taking us.Though the main character is someone who you would not respect given all his crimes and past, you cannot help but to get attached to him... and that surprised me.I am no fan of guns but was impressed by the references and knowledge the author has on them. Maybe because I know so little? still it added a real touch to the criminal world of the story.I found the idea around the pharmaceutical impact on our society very plausible and had a real ring to it. Actually quite chilling to think about this probable reality but it made the book even more intriguing to read.I wish the author good luck and look forward to another book. He certainly deserves a bravo after this first one.

I very much enjoyed reading this book. The story reads at the pace equal to a Hollywood blockbuster; breakneck action scenes and fascinating corporate intrigue left me wanting more as I read the final pages.The Zúrich Decision was clearly painstakingly researched by the author and it shows. The book jumps from location to location, giving the reader a window into a plethora of different cultures and environments, similar to popular novels such as those written by Tom Clancy or Dan Brown. The characters are memorable and human. Even five years after it was written, the story is one that could be ripped from current headlines.Take a chance on this independently published thriller - you won’t regret it!

I really enjoyed this book as it was difficult to put it down. The characters, plot twists and movement through different cultures and environments were very well thought out. Mr. Brady's extensive knowledge of the various countries mentioned in the book was very impressive. It is not easy to find good books that keep the reader as engaged as this book does. I am looking forward to Mr. Brady's next thriller!A quick note to the editor: I found many mistakes that should have been discovered/corrected by the editor. It is so sad to see such a wonderfully written book by such an intelligent author taken down a notch (see one star review) just because the editor failed to do his/her job adequately.

Very poorly researched book. I went through the first 5% of the book and could not go on any further. The first episode with Russians is a display of the author's unwillingness to do a basic search on the Internet. The first names and last names of the supposedly Russian characters are mixed up randomly (this is evident to any person with a basic familiarity with the structure of Russian names - only last names can end in 'ov'). Then a "Russian-made Sikorsky helicopter" arrives. Do Wikipedia search for God's sake - Igor Sikorsky emigrated to the US in 1925 - long before any helicopters were produced, Sikorsky firm is an icon of US military industry. When you see one factual mistake followed by another, and another, and another in the space of a dozen pages you are no longer sure that the rest of the book is worth reading at all. If the author did not bother to do a basic job, why spend an effort to read his product?

I put down a Tom Clancy novel to read this book. I was pleasantly surprised to find that Brady's writing was similar to what I had just been reading.For a first effort, in my opinion Mr. Brady has done well for himself. I hope he continues to write similar novels.

The book is interesting, all scenarios are greatly described as well as each actor in this well written drama.You will end up thinking about what is the best decision to make when you have an opportunity to do good against to be part or bad groups or interests.I will recommend this book, every chapter appeared as images in my mind, and I love when I book does that when I read it.Good job Joseph and I look forward to reading your next one.

This well written novel combines in depth knowledge with a variety of international scenes that grab the reader's attention and ignite the imagination from the very beginning. Joseph accomplishes this by keying on the most gripping elements of danger and pure human emotion. I especially enjoyed characters such as Aleksei who is larger than life. I hope he appears in the author's future literary works. This book is a must read for anyone liking twists, turns, and thought provoking situations!

Slightly complicated plot to follow. In the beginning it was OK, but later - I simply got lost. It's OK.

The printing of this English book was done by a German company... there are some printing errors I noticed right away. I will still be able to read the book, but I have never seen this before in any online purchases.

Fairly entertaining but seemingly full of mistakes: e.g. a "driver" of a motorcycle instead of rider, reference to a SUV as a truck. It's almost as though it has been translated from another language. Also, although it is supposedly set partly in or around Zurich it appears as though minimal research was made as to the locations in which the characters lived etc. Overall, a decent book requires more effort than this.

A fast-paced thriller with an atypical protagonist. The book is a page-turner which whizzes the reader across our planet. Great villains and a great final act. A great read

I bought the book as I live in Switzerland and like to read books with a local content. This book has a basic plot and is too literal. I found the book poorly written and simplistic in its language. The ebook version has many grammatical errors which was annoying and disappointing. Not recommended.

A serious disappointment. Do not bother.
