Reviews

[Allen]

Written in 1975, the politics of terrorism in the Middle East continue along the same lines today. It's interesting to see how little things change over 40 years. A good, fast paced plot, interesting characters, and riveting action. I wonder if this was made into a movie; it would make a good one!
