After reading this book I wondered about the author and how much an insider he was or is to what he wrote in this novel. The realism jumps off the page almost like watching a film such as "Syriana". Hassan has crafted an intriguing and gripping thriller that pulls you in from the first page and the aura of the Trade, of money, of greed, of selling what there is to be sold and using whatever means it takes. The characters are very cinematic, meaning we see them in a visual sense, in scenes that unfold and play out in front of us. This book is also very timely and will give you that uneasy feeling that these types of scenarios play out all the time and how delicate and fragile the balance in the world is upheld by this level of dirty trade.
