Customer Reviews

A strongly recommended prophetic political-military thriller

A lot of things are happening in the World around the date I am writing this comment. This book, written in '83, is visionary in its content: in Middle East turmoil setting, it talks about a radical who believes he is commissioned by God to defend Islam, who happened to be building a nuclear bomb and is about to use it on...sounds familiar? Although the associated political names mentioned in the book changed as in today, the scenario is very much vivid in modern chronicle of the Middle East nations. This book is 3-dimensional. Usually a typical book reader is the 3rd party, who enjoys the contents of a book delivered as a kind of reading pleasure. Not this one. If this book were a movie, the reader shares the thrill to involve as the Director, who is drawn constructing the camera screens for the plot, the psyche expressions of the people in the book, and the expansive pursue across the deserts of Jordan, Israel and Saudi Arabia, through Australia's outback, into Portugal's airports and Hong Kong's alleyways, to the holy precincts of Mecca and into the sulfurous moonscape of Ethiopia's Danakil Alps.

a book before its time

maybe this book would not have been of interest in 1983 ,but almost in a prophetic way it speaks to the world today. a novel of the middle east,with the names and organizations that are a part of the news of today. this is a story of terrorism ,intrigue and war..a war that is new to us but has been going on in the middle east for some time. a romance and a tragic novel of war/loss and prophecy.from the sudan to saudi arabia ,turkey,egypt jordan it covers the politics,the war and the spirit of a people. this book will truly surprise you.

An excellent, well written spy thriller ...

This is a superb spy novel for any fans of Tom Clancy. What makes it even better is that it precedes Clany by about a decade. The plot may have been done before(Israeli and American Agents have to stop arab terrorists from building a nuclear bomb), and since, but it has never been done better. Excellent characters, including wonderful multidimensional heroes and villians. This is a must own for fans of the spy/thriller genre.
