Trust is a bit tricky, aye? We all want to believe the people in our lives, but sometimes, it’s so hard to know who to believe. Trust is a big deal in Saboteur, with life-and-death situations faced by characters who must decide whom they can rely on. Spoiler: It’s mostly not who they think.
Think of this: what does it take for you to trust someone? Their words? Actions? Gut Feelings? Trust isn’t very durable, is it? It is something that can take years to build but is lost suddenly. In Saboteur, this happens. Some of the characters seem trustworthy but have hidden motives. Others might seem shady at first, but they turn out to be so loyal. It’s a rollercoaster ride of emotions to figure it out all.
One of the major questions that are raised in this story is: what makes a person trustworthy? Is it honesty? Is it consistency? Or is trust in the circumstantial? These issues had to be resolved most intensively by Saboteur’s characters. Imagine being entrusted with a life and not knowing whether he will help save you or betray you. Would you bet on it?
That’s one of the biggest reasons I love writing this book: the exploration of how trust works. Sometimes, trust takes a leap of faith in someone even when you are not sure that you probably shouldn’t. Other times, it’s substantiated by someone’s actions in the past: what they’ve done before. But what if they breach that trust? Can you forgive them? Should you? These things don’t have easy answers, and that’s why the story can be so strong.
In Saboteur, the stakes are high. Trusting the wrong person could mean disaster. But mistrusting the right person could be just as bad. It’s a delicate balance, and it keeps you guessing. One moment you’re rooting for a character, and the next, you’re second-guessing their every move. It’s the kind of tension that keeps the pages turning.
I think we all deal with trust issues in real life, don’t we? Maybe someone let you down before, and now it’s hard to believe anyone. Or maybe you trust too easily and get hurt. The characters in Saboteur face these same struggles, just on a much bigger scale. Their lives depend on it, and their decisions can change everything in an instant.
What’s fascinating is how trust is tested in the story. There are moments when you’ll think you’ve figured someone out, only to be completely blindsided. It makes you think about your own instincts. How often do we misjudge people? How often do we trust someone based on a smile or a kind word, only to realize later they had other plans?
As you read the book, you’ll find yourself asking: “Who would I trust in this situation? Would I make the same choices?” It’s a fascinating way to connect with the story on a personal level. You might even reflect on your own life and the people you trust—or don’t.
So, ready to test your instincts and see who you’d trust? Grab a copy of Saboteur and step into a world where trust could save the day or destroy it. The choice is yours. Trust me, you won’t regret reading it.
