It's a great thriller. It's set in the Arab country. The main character is Bone. He secretly works for the CIA though he's a construction engineer. He lost his wife in the Iranian revolution. This story is set in 1980's.But anyone who's interested in what's going on around in the world today will surely be interested in this novel. It gives us a lot of insight into the Arab world and their volatile situations which actually makes it interesting. Since this is basically a psychological thriller the suspense is wholly into the emotions and actions of the characters involved according to the changing cicumstances.The discontented youth i.e. the Fariquis are planning a revolution to overthrow their ruler to raise Shaikh Rashid as the ruler. Their attacks aimed on the British and US community cause Colonel Alan Foster, Chuck Harvey and Kevin Bone to get involved. The plot involves kidnapping, bomb attack and other violent events where all the characters are unnecessarily drawn into the whole drama due to their own personal reasons. The Middle East background is the fact which makes this story explosive.
