Reviewer: JohnRating: 3 out of 5 FairiesThe book has good & bad points; the concept behind it is quite good, especially in the light of the recent horrific event in the UK, with terrorists out to scare middle America with small scale atrocities, a series of beheadings. The group is not too well explained & appears to be a random mix of members, with no real political aim and a couple of them in it just for the kicks!The book contains a number of historical references which actually take up a quarter of the book & while interesting, I feel the space would have been better used to flesh out the characters; some of which are fairly well drawn, but others are very two dimensional, more stereotypes than anything else.If you like the style of a book written by Robert Ludlum or Eric Van Lustbader, then this may well be for you, I would just have liked the book to be longer to allow more depth to be added to the plot & allow the final scenes to feel less rushed. In fact, to me, it reads a bit like a screenplay, with more to be added in the production.Disclosure: This book was provided by the author in exchange for an HONEST and not necessarily positive review.
