Rating: 5 out of 5

This book was highly recommended on one of the "What Are You Reading on Your Kindle" informal polls, so I tried out the free sample on my Kindle, enjoyed it, then bought the full book.  For 99 cents, this is an excellent value:  I certainly received as much -  and probably more - value and entertainment out of this book than most of the "major publisher" authors, and you will, also.The author does an excellent job of getting you into the head of the characters, where you quickly can relate to the main character.  I think I had just about every range of emotion possible while reading this book, and I distinctly remember at 62% of the way through the Kindle version feeling a little depressed because Mark was depressed, then around the 80% mark feeling elation because Mark was elated; this was a consistent happening throughout the book.  To me, anytime the author can literally grab you and make you feel as if you are playing the role of the main character is a good thing.The author also makes you sit back and think about what is going on in the world of our anti-terrorism policies.  Prior to reading this book, I had one set of preconceived notions of what is acceptable or not for those labeled as enemy combatants; about a third of the way through I found myself rethinking my own idea of what is the right thing to do.  From the plot lines, getting into the head of the character, and the overall writing style I found I didn't want to put this book down - I'm still thinking about it 24 hours after finishing it!Bottom line to me is this is a great book and certainly worth more than the 99 cents, and I have purchased the next book in the series eagerly awaiting to see what else happens to Mr. Taylor.
