Review: Great conspiracy thriller
Rating: 5 out of 5

I'd almost given up on this genre with so many weak Da Vinci Code copies out there that all they'd get from me is a big yawn. This one was different, even though it's taken initially from the POV of a writer trying to write a DVC style thriller. The trouble is it looks like he might have hit on a real life terrorism conspiracy as a series of mosque bombings start to mirror his manuscript. But who is behind them and are they using his manuscript as a blueprint for Armageddon? At points it uncomfortably mirrors what's going on in the real world, right down to possible showdowns with Iran and Pakistan. Gritty, hard-hitting and intelligent, had me on the edge of my seat throughout.
