If you read Cliff Happy's 1st novel, "The Friends from Damascus" you know what a treat you have in store reading this one-- his 2nd book... If you haven't read the first book... start there (*and i envy you!).In this 2nd book the team is back in action... and it unfolds pretty quickly.Cliff is such a story teller. His prose if anything is tighter, richer in this 2nd book. The environments stretch all across the globe, but are presented in a way that the reader can "picture/feel" easily. While there are considerable details & "flushing out" of the characters' personalities, the major attraction for me (and I assume for others) are the non-stop, heart-pumping, pure action segments.I've caught myself looking at the clock (after midnight) trying to put the book down & go to bed before some episode unfolds, only to stay up a couple of hours more-- racing through the scenes ...I've not said anything about people, places or situations... as i don't want to take any of the surprise or suspense out of it for you, dear reader.you don't know me, but trust me... start reading this author. and buckle on your protective gear and take a few days off to get this book (and the 1st book! first) read. enjoy!an aside: I've "hounded" the author for the release of this book (BTW, he invites your e-mails-- his e-mail is easily found inside either book).  Now I'll start in on him for the release of book #3.So, Mr. Happy... if you see this, "where's my book #3?"
