I was fortunate to receive a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for a fair and unbiased review. As soon as I saw the attractive, appealing cover artwork, I was drawn to the book. Tango! Wow! That has got to be the dance of dances: smooth, sensual, and provocative. As I began to read, I was immediately immersed in the story. Colonel Kefira was pulling out of an Egyptian hot zone. There was gun fire, rockets and machine guns. A blast, and a pilot went down. And then this tender scene:Downed pilot:(bleeding to death) "...a wide-eyed maiden I find in the garden."Colonel Kefira: (holding pilot's head) "My hero, tell me who has sent you to me?"Downed pilot: (ethereal smile on his face)Colonel Kefira: (she snaps his neck with her bare hands)This is the proper place to let you know that "Kefira" means, "lioness". As we have seen, she is a lioness personified. "Tsunami Connection", by Michael James Gallagher, is a spy thriller that satisfies on a number of levels. The protagonist is Kefira, a spymaster who works for Mossad. In this book, she has to deal with the global consequences of her failed Egyptian mission. We are led across the Middle East, Europe, Asia, North America, and South America. In Argentina, there is Tango, there is Romance, Passion...and yes, Terrorism... In Buenos Aires, Kefira fights against terrorists who are responsible for blowing up her operatives there.The story is masterfully told by a talented, imaginative and creative author. You will surely agree with me that a great deal of research went into the writing of this novel. If you read closely, really close, you will surely find that the author has left behind a piece of his very soul in each page of this book. Fans of the genre will find everything that makes this genre delightful. There is murder, mayhem, passion, intrigue, twists and turns, and oh, so very sensual.Carlos Gardel sings: (Spanish) El día que me quieras...endulzará sus cuerdas...el pájaro cantor...florecerá la vida...no existirá el dolor...English translation: The day you want me...will sweeten its strings...songbird...life flourish...there will be pain... This book is enthusiastically recommended for fans of the genre.Reviewed by Thomas Jerome BakerAuthor of [[...]]
