Review of Endgame
The war against terrorism had long been ongoing, with all attempts to disband the terrorist organization resulting in little or nothing. It was evident that with the continued pace at which the plague, terrorism, was spreading internationally, the world system would soon be disabled. But this remained a likely event until Nathaniel Jameson, deputy chief of mission at the US Embassy in London, woke up one morning with an idea on how to infiltrate al-Qaeda at the highest level and roll up the “multi-headed monster, which the organization had become." But mind you, this would not be a piece of cake. Would Nat take the dare to bait the notorious organization? And even if he did, would his bait, the president of the US, be willing to take such a risk?
Endgame by William Reed is an action-packed novel with all the interesting thrills of firearms and terrorism. What might come to mind is good-guys and bad-guys warfare, but this book was so designed to exceed that. Staged on a world play, Endgame did not in any way leave out any intriguing factor that would give the reader the best appeal while reading.
My favorite part of this book is the play out of the Jameson family. First, in a book related to terrorism, I expected a major part of the book to be about warheads, firearms, military invasions, and all that. And although there were mentions of this, the writer was still able to introduce an exciting family plot to the story. Like an average American parent, Nat and Sonja had two lovely kids who were not left out in the story at any point. Their POVs or dialogues in the story were as important as that of the president of the US. The writer was able to carry the family life along with the plot of terrorism. This was an excellent idea as the book does not only relate to violence but also to love, family, friendship, and warmth. I liked this about the book.
Another interesting thing in this book is the step-by-step follow-up on scenes and events. Every scene and event in the book was sure to be well narrated and written without any belittling bias to other scenes. Family time was as important as dinner at a friend's place. Likewise, dinner at a friend's house was given the same detailed narration as a meeting with the Russian ambassador. This made details easy to remember and will help readers not focus on only the terrorists' actions. An effect of this is that I definitely would not forget Nat's favorite drink, “Scotch and Perrier water."
Endgame by William Reed is an amazing all-around book. The office activities, CIA actions, religious fundamentalists, warheads (nuclear weapons) threats, a few fake-death scenes, and all the other aspects played an important role in the book. The book was also well edited, so readers are guaranteed ease while reading. Hence, I rate this book five out of five stars. I have no negative complaints to make about this exciting book. I recommend this book to readers who enjoy crime-related genres and action thrillers.
