Whether a whistle blowing minion of a giant corporation or a minor CIA agent in the bureaucratic world of big government, having important knowledge that can change the world and then facing an impenetrable barrier of those who refuse to listen has to be one of the most frustrating emotions in the human experience.

I suspect Tom CLancy would be mortified to have this apallingly-written, melodramatic piece of rubbish compared to his body of work. (By Jeffrey Deaver, no less!

A high level Iranian official comes forward with information on two major terrorist attacks set to occur in the near future. One of them on U.S soil. This almost reads like the headlines in the latest newspapers. However this book deals with the side of this that the public would not see. For a short book, 276 pages , these authors have packed in a big wallop. Very fast paced with a lot of action and great characters. This one is a hit don't miss it.

It was an okay book. I diverting read. I wish I had waited to check it out from the library, but I'll probably keep my copy now that I own it.

I couldn't finish this. I *love* the story but the writing was just deplorable. I couldn't get through it. Quit on page 84.
