Another great summer read. Just a touch below Coes' debut in quality of the story. A nice exploration of the India-Pakistan conflict over Kashmir and how small events can lead to major conflict. Need a bit of suspension of disbelief to get through the resolution, but a fun read overall.

Really liked the action but at times too close for comfort.
excellent. can't wait for more from Ben Coes.
