Written before the Sept 11th hijacks, this book traces a complicated series of pathways that uncover a plot to destroy America.The book is richly detailed and the characters are full-fleshed and real. The set of plots that converge only towards the end of ths book are gripping in and of themselves. Gulvin's ability to bring them together demonstrates great forward planning.As one other reviewer has noted, it is a tad tiresome to switch from one sub-plot to another, but press on. It's worth all the effort.It's also worth reading Gulvin's other books, which feature the same main characters and you are able to see the development of their relationships, and also the sheer breadth of the author's vision for his plots.
The Covenant

This was the first book I have read by this author and I was very impressed. There are several sub plots which do not come together until the last 30 pages or so. It is a fast moving thriller, which is dependant upon some amazing coincidencies to make it work, but so what? Switch off your reality sences and enjoy a cracking read.
