This is by far the most timely and exciting book I've read in a long, long time.It begins with a most frightening view inside the mind of a terrorist on a suicide mission. From there the reader is taken on a wild adventure with Canadian Intelligence Service agent Justin and his agent partner, Carrie through many places that are in the news today such as Libya, Cairo, Egypt, the Sudan and others.What this author does extremely well is in the midst of one frightening development after another he describes each place so well that you can see the surroundings in your mind's eye without slowing down.The characters are well-developed and many are not what they seem.  What comes to light and complicates the original mission the two agents are on is learning that there is a plot to assassinate the president of the United States.Everything happens at break-neck speed, and events and people are never quite what they seem. This is the kind of book that should be made into a movie.Tripoli's Target is for anyone who loves lots of action in a believable plot.
