These characters' names sound quite familiar although I can't remember the particular book in which I saw them. I love spy thrillers, and I think it's interesting that there's a chance Walid, after being indoctrinated by terrorist beliefs, might turn out to some sort of hero. The intrigue is palpable. Thanks for the review.

Latest Review: Guilt by David Taylor Black

Post by Corina Elena »

I usually enjoy spy novels, and I am intrigued by the plotline. However, the political implications let me wondering if maybe we should reconsider the propaganda spread in the mainstream media. Terrorism is an incredibly difficult topic to debate, and instead of rewriting the same story every time, maybe authors could offer more perspectives. How about a book debating the situation in Gaza? How about a book promoting...peace for a change?
Other than that, the review is really good, and it was a pleasure reading it! Great job!

A well-written, well-edited, intriguing espionage thriller with well-developed characters. Plus, it is told from multiple perspectives! Not sure it is for me, but I added this book to my TBR list. Thank you for the detailed review!

An action thriller that includes a terrorist mission, and has a side related to a budding romance seems quite intriguing. Thank you for the review!

Good descriptive review. However, I differ with the number of detailed scenes. There was one about one of the main characters, with an object, or objects, coming in his window and going through his body. Okay, I won't say any more about that. It was too descriptive, and kind of reminded me about another awful event in real history. I also like the author's jumping back and forth between characters. It makes the story more interesting and keeps the reader on their toes. I experienced that in another historical fiction series. Good job author and reviewer.

The book intrigued me as it is not so much of a thriller to the minor characters, every action is followed by an-all-answering move thereof. By and large, it reminds me of 24.

The summary of the book definitely points to a typical plot. From your review, I guess that despite being a typical script, the execution must be unique.

Your description of the plot is superb and loaded with subtle information that is also as important - I got hold of 41, thirty something and sixteen.
