This is a fast pace adventure. This would make a great movie. It did take me a minute to get into it but once I did I couldn't put it down. Liked the evolution of the characters and how the story progressed Great Book!

A well written fast paced nail-biting tale of suspense. I like that the story takes place in Europe and the Middle East, this adds more intrigue to the story. The plot is thick, and believable. Something that could really be happening in the world today.
