Terrorism, as real as it is in our world today, will always do what its name says: terrorize! This is what my impression is after reading Duplicity by Fin C. Gray, an intriguing twist of the fate of Tom, Daniel, Alison, Waqar, and other characters in the book.

The book opens with Daniel McIntyre embarking on a mission that will unleash terror on the regular everyday commuters of a London train station, and change their lives as well as his, and that of everyone that loved him forever. The description of the train station, the activities of commuters hustling to board and alight from the train, as well as Daniel's feelings, makes you feel like a passenger sitting right next to him, observing the events of the book play out keenly. He is guided and reassured deep inside by the convictions of a better future ahead, as well as the soothing promissory voice of his lover, Waqar. Thus, reminding him of the promise of sharing love once more after the life-changing action he is about to take. Will he succeed in his quest?

This book raises some questions. What are the factors that determine the outcome of our lives? Do our desires and cravings influenced by our natural inclinations, really always decide what we become? Or do the actions of other significant people in our lives have the power to determine our fate, without our permission? These are critical questions that are thrown up so artistically by the author in this book. And the reader gets to decide for themselves the answers to these questions.

The author draws the reader in as he develops each character in an engaging style of writing. He approached the story in a "now," "then," and even delightfully, a "future" writing style, which creates many layers of suspense for the reader, and keeps them deeply craving to read up the story. The book is written in a very conversational manner, depicting the reality of the British society in which it is set - the language mannerisms, clichés, and behavioral patterns. Indeed, the writer presents the story like a true Brit.

All through the book, there are intricate weaves of the place of belief in higher powers and beings, with the actual effect of daily choices made, either influenced by others or just fate. You get a chance to decide after all if our lives are a total summation of decisions made or an effect of belief in a higher power. There is also the use of profanity, as is the mannerism of most Brits. Some parts contain gay sensual scenes that might be slightly offensive to the not open-minded reader.

I enjoyed the book and would rate it 4 out of 4 stars. There are no grammatical or editing errors. I recommend this book to anyone who does not mind books written with locker room language.
