This novel covers the Middle Eastern countries, Canada and others. Modern day warfare involving terrorism, drones, political idealism, different cultures and counter-terrorism hold the reader spellbound. Motorbike gangs and drug wars pale to insignificance in comparison. Your attention is held from the beginning. The characters are well described, in particular Gillette, the heroine. I found it necessary to make sure that the author was a man, as his insight when describing the feelings and culture of the female characters was so sensitive. Drone warfare is also described. It was almost as though the controls were a computer game played by a highly trained pilot. The immigration policies of different countries together with the tolerance, or lack thereof, towards diverse cultures, ideals, customs and religious practices re all woven into this unique story. Alan Annand describes a current worldwide situation, namely the prior tolerance of immigration laws and sensitivity of Western countries towards the ideology of middle Eastern countries which is not reciprocated.Just a few typo’s which are easy to correct as the style is so good.
