Do you believe that, out of nowhere, people can suddenly wake up with an idea that will change the world? Nat, a man with a passionate desire to end terrorism worldwide, unexpectedly came up with an unconventional idea to dismantle al-Qaeda. His plan involves infiltrating the terrorist organization, which requires gaining their trust. To achieve this, Nat proposes assassinating the U.S. Ambassador to the Court of St. James and subsequently the U.S. Vice President, with the aim of earning al-Qaeda's confidence. Does this sound peculiar and unattainable? Well, Nat has meticulously outlined his entire plan, and you may be intrigued to follow this story by obtaining the book.
 
Endgame by William Reed is a fictional novel that portrays the dangers of terrorism and emphasizes the urgency to eliminate it. Although the author asserts that the novel is a work of fiction, I like to believe that some aspects of the book hold a grain of truth.
 
I appreciate the author's in-depth exploration of the topic of terrorism. The book sheds light on Osama bin Laden, delving into his path to becoming the founder of al-Qaeda and how the organization subsequently gave rise to other terrorist groups worldwide. Additionally, the book highlights that terrorism does not thrive in isolation but rather receives assistance from certain governments.
 
Another aspect I enjoyed was the book's depiction of love and family. Nat is portrayed as a devoted family man. Despite the importance of his plan, it is evident that he is unwilling to proceed unless his wife approves. In fact, his primary motivation to see the plan through, despite the inherent dangers, stems from his love for his family. He aspires to live in a safer society.
 
I have no qualms about this book. I came across only a few minor errors, which suggests it underwent professional editing. Nonetheless, these do not detract from the overall quality of the book. The author's writing style is fluent, contributing to the book's smooth flow. Moreover, the book provides a solid background on terrorism. Considering the aforementioned points, I would rate Endgame 5 out of 5 stars.

I highly recommend this book to individuals interested in exploring the history of terrorism, specifically al-Qaeda. It's important to note that the book includes some instances of profanity and mild sexual content. Therefore, parental guidance is advised.

This sounds so interesting. I've been putting off reading it for a while now. I think I should finally give it a try. Since you enjoyed this so, I feel you'll probably enjoy Khanjar, I found it good as well.
