"On the Gulf," by Desmond Cory is a full length novel that is gripping psychological thriller with a political story line. The book is very informational read.In this action packed story, a group of vigilante locals plan a dramatic government overthrow in the fictional Arab country of Fariq. Politically inspired violence is rained down when an attack is made on Polly Sage. Polly is a young oil rig widow. The book just snowballs from there. I don't want to go in to too much detail and give away any of the really good parts, however, the story escalates into kidnapping, murder, a planned bomb attack, and much more.I thought the book was amazing. Hands down. "On the Gulf" truly is a page turner You might just learn a few things too, as always with Desmond Cory's writings. I found the book to be a very interesting read due to the in depth political view of another country.Desmond Cory is no newcomer - and his experience is evident once again. Having written over 40 novels, he is still turning out some of his best works today. I happen to be a big of Cory's; particularly the more well know Johnny Fedora series. Although this book is unlike that series, it is still a refreshing read. I highly recommend it.
