Well Worth Your Time

Nick Cartwright had been scorched by life and his heart hardened by losses that he could never overcome. Now, he is an emotionless assassin, a killing machine that has no feelings besides getting the job done that is set before him. He was to kill Ismail Talawi, who stirred the anger of a Nation with the writing of his book "Lunch with the Prophet." Our list of charcters include Meg Davidson, Sandy Flett and Jimmy Douglas, all super secret anti IRA agents that must stop the plot of evil that is spreading on several continents and could cause great disaster for the world. The web begins to weave as the author plunges you into the lives and motives of his characters. Ah, but this author does not leave out the human element as he weaves in Anne Flett, the Vancouver trauma room surgeon, who happens to be the brother of Sandy Flett. Anne, who is plagued with a successful husband who likes the ways of women, is the tender element that adds warmth to this story. She was my favorite character. It is a novel of mystery and intrique, adventure and deep sorrow. Yet, in the midst of it all you find friendship and courage, love and loyality. Sometimes in places you would never think to look. If you want to read a great spy adventure with sophistication, this is the book for you. Not your run of the mill read, even the details that often can be boring in a work keep your interest. A winding adventure, traveling up hill and down, twisting this way and that awaits you. Good job Mr. Bruce! Recommended!
