So now it becomes a race against time, to not only find out how they did it, but where they went and how do you recover the goods. The orders from the top of the US government are crystal clear; recover the military documents or destroy them. Whatever it takes.
It's a guessing game as to where the crooks are and who will end up with the goods, revealed only in the gripping finale.
There is no time to lose - guaranteed.

I love a good bank heist. The 'whodunnit' part is always fun, but in this book's case, the 'howtheydunnit' is what really makes the book a good read.The author enjoys the details, and sets each scene up with some really nice descriptions of the people and environments. The author also has a great knack for history and culture. The story spans the globe, and at no point did I feel like the author was 'winging it' when writing about other countries/cultures. As for the history part... I haven't fact-checked the book (it's fiction, after all), but if even half of the history he wove into the story is legit, then I really need to start reading more history!
All in all, this was a fun book with a solid plot, a great twist, well-executed environments and characters, and enough depth to keep you engaged all the way through.

No Time To Lose edition by Matt Baak Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Kip Keplar, former CIA and FBI agent, is asked to help solve a mysterious bank robbery where several thieves were able to enter the bank undetected while dressed in Santa Claus suits, remove billions worth of valuables from the vault that is on an impenetrable time lock, and escape, leaving behind absolutely no evidence. Vice President Cam Walker, who, along with two other employees, forwards the vault code daily, finds his wife has been kidnapped, even though he did not give the code to anyone. To complicate matters, one of the objects stolen from a safe deposit box in the vault is a national treasure destined for the Smithsonian; it has been lost for decades.
As the story evolves, it is evident that the author has an imagination, and the resolution to the way the vault is opened is clever and possibly feasible. The novel is classic good vs. evil, with the main character in danger most of the time. It seems the bad guys are constantly a step ahead, which makes for a good measure of suspense.
While the storyline is great, the author is in need of a professional editor. Not only is the book full of trite idioms and clichés, but grammatical errors abound. The author would benefit from an English 101 class. In addition, the novel is extremely wordy – sometimes the author repeats himself three or four times in the same paragraph, saying the same thing in different ways. And while it is nice to learn a few things about the facts behind something happening in the story, in this case, the author jumps from story mode to textbook mode constantly, i.e., The Legend of Nei Quiang (location 938). TMI (too much information) is the norm in this book. The story could have been easily told in 200 pages, instead of 400+. There are also dozens of references to things that have nothing to do with the story or outcome, such as drawn-out descriptions of how each character is dressed. There are words left out (location 2386 “into one those” instead of one of those), and phrases that don’t make sense (loc 2386 “most had to made up” and “nothing was undisturbed for years”). Also errors like “read had” instead of had read (location 2650), and “him self” instead of himself (location 3278). In addition, there are several places where the author goes onto a soapbox about subjects that have little or nothing to do with the story, such as “The Riddle Revisited” at location 2281; it is in essence a diatribe about corporations and labor. Several of the paragraphs start out in third person, then switch, mid-sentence to first person. It seems whenever a new subject is brought up, the author goes on and on to give background information that is not relevant and is, in a word, boring.
This would be an excellent novel to use in college novel-writing classes to show students what not to do. Hopefully, the author will rewrite the story (which is really quite good) and leave out the unnecessary verbiage, correct the grammatical errors, eliminate the clichés, and present the events in a straightforward manner. In the meantime, unless one suffers from severe insomnia, this novel is not recommended.
Special thanks to the author for supplying a review copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.

criminals, law enforcement and Kip Keplar.
This is a great read. You will experience thrills, chills and
unexpected twists
Thank you to Word Slinger Publicity for this eBook.
My opinion is my own.
A good read if you eliminate half the book.
Enjoyed this book and recommend it to others. I liked how the characters were introduced and the action began. I got right into the mystery and wanted to know more. It built to an exciting climax and I didn't want to put it down until I knew the ending. It had mystery, intrigue, and drama, and kept me interested until the end. Get reading - there's no time to lose!
The story is compelling and that's really the most important part of any book. It starts out a little slow, but by the halfway mark, I was hooked. Matt does a good job of connecting events and giving the reader the impression that something important is at stake here. I appreciated the tangential discussions of history, politics, and economics, but they also seemed like distractions from the general narrative.The last fifty pages or so are gripping.
The prose is a little clunky, which unfortunately distracted from the overall experience of reading the book. Lots of cliches, too many typos, and an excessive level of description for details not relevant to the story (e.g., what people were wearing, what they were eating, what kind of table they were sitting at.) The characters also feel a little like caricatures, with too much good in the best of them and too much bad in the worst.
All's told though, it was a pretty good yarn. More good than bad. I would definitely recommend for Saturday light reading.
