Good review. The book is covering sensitive topics; religion, terrorism and politics. Am sure every word was measured thoroughly by Jack. :tiphat:

The sample of this book was gripping. Anything about Israel and the Jewish people fascinates me. I think I’ll really enjoy this book. Very good review! Congrats on BOTD!

A well-written review, quite balanced and objective. Sounds like a thrilling read, featuring international affairs and emergency situations handling by federal agents.

I’m not a huge fan of terrorism stories, so I’ll probably pass. Sounds like a well-plotted novel though.

War on terrorism is common today. This book sounds like an incredible thriller that touches on international affairs. I will give it a try. Great review.

This book sounds incredibly interesting and well written. The theme is relevant with current events. I love that it’s fiction but weaves in real events. Kind of makes it as historical fiction which I can always get into because it is believable.

This seems to be a popular series of books among people who like spy novels. Not my cup of tea to read, but I would almost certainly watch the movies made from these.

A Thriller with actual historical events, I’ve never read a book like this. Maybe this one can be my first! :techie-studyinggray:

The opening pages of this one were just too much for me. Or, I should say...too real for me. While it seems that the author did an excellent job weaving together a realistic story with a lot of tension, I just can’t bring myself to read this one. I don’t like a lot of graphic violence, and the opening was way too much. Thanks for the insight on this one, but I’m passing.

Great review. I am already interested in reading this. Thriller, and suspenseful with ties to realistic events, and controversial issues. I definitely will read this over my weekend.

This sounds sad, but exciting. I would like to read it. I hope the FBI will be able to catch those responsible for the deaths of those children.

From what you say, it sounds like the author has allowed his own politics to slip into his writing - which is a shame, as this sounds like a good thriller.

I like the theme, thrill and the gripping appearance along with the title. However, issues such as religiously motivated international terrorism, Iran’s nuclear threat, and Russia’s role do not intrest me so I'll pass on this one. Congratulations to the author and thanks for sharing such a thorough review.
