Once you get into The Pelindaba Conspiracy (this will happen on page one) sit down, shut up and hold on.  The fast paced action rarely stops and why would anyone want it to?I had my doubts about a blind computer genius but Cliff Happy quickly convinced me it would work.  Too bad the guide dog died but it was for a noble reason.  The stakes (nuclear bomb material in the hands of fanatical Muslims) couldn't be higher and the Friends From Damascus never better as they do their job with passion and precision. (I want to know more about Joe; he scares me in a good way.) All the settings were done well and lent authenticity to the chase scenes.  (I know parts of Paris well and felt as if I were there again.)As I caught my breath at the end I wished I could be at La Rosa with a glass of Valpolicella and my Friends From Damascus.  I think I'd bring Al a new guide dog!  This book is ripe for a movie treatment.  Can't wait for Hunters of Gunmen.  I love this series.
