The story is set at a very good pace with an intricate storyline that I appreciate. The author did an excellent job of creating multiple storylines and tying them all in. I was also impressed with the amount of research that had to have gone into writing such a story. Espionage is not one dimensional. There are so many aspects to it that a novice cannot just start writing about it and get it right the first time. The author had clearly researched the various countries, technology, and even history.
The characters were great. I found myself drawn to them and even tearing up at one point. I love it when an author can draw me in like this. In the book, I was able to see into the heads of all the characters including the terrorists and the one behind it all. Even after I knew who the puppeteer was, I was kept in the dark about his motives. Very well done.
Before reading this book, keep in mind that the book was written in the 90s which means a lot has changed in the Middle East and with America’s relationships with the countries there. You need to think back to that period as you read. I know it was hard at times to separate what I know as historical fact and what happened in the book.
Of course, there is violence. You cannot read an espionage book without it. It is not gruesome.
A great read. Highly recommend to anyone who likes this genre.
Note: I had this book on my bookshelf for years with no idea of where it came from. So, no one asked for a positive review. ( )
