An intense action-packed political thriller. I was hooked from start to finish with a gasp out loud ending. I wanted more. Easy to read full of intrigue. Politics vs terrorism but all is not as it seems. Told from multiple viewpoints, 2 parents of potential terrorists doing anything to find their children, a rougue FBI agent that can't follow orders; and a potential terrorist and a twist i didn't see coming. It's brilliant and well executed. Set in political turmoil with an election race in the USA, but it is so much more. Radicalised, racism and parental love are key themes, so a fast-paced book which also makes you think. The only negative is how the parents manage to out fox the multiple agencies in the US bordering on the unbelievable. But that did not detract from the utter brilliance of this book. The first I've read by this author, it certainly encouraged me to read his other books. I heartedly recommend reading this book. Fantastic heart in mouth excellent read.
