Although I've never read any of FC Etier's work before, within just moments of starting the book - before I even realized it - I was well into chapter three and wondering how I'd gotten there.  Suffice it to say, this story is a quick, fun and engrossing read.  It's also nice to see a story that's set (at least in part) in Georgia.  The story itself - part of a series, from what I understand - starts off with a seemingly random attack on a kindly older gentleman that is quickly revealed to be anything but random.  In fact, it has a rather chilling purpose - namely with informing the President that he's 'next'.Political intrigue isn't usually my thing, but the characters and the way that Etier writes really worked for me -- giving plenty of detail but not soaking your head in it to the point where you forget what you were reading about to start with.  This has been one of the quickest reads I've had -- the only books that I've read that were quicker and with the same level of detail and enjoyment were the Harry Dresden series by Jim Butcher.  Although the genre and settings and such are all very dissimilar, something about Etier's writing style really inspires enthusiastic reading.
