description: Bullets and Train is a fast paced action thriller that raises the critical issue of terrorism and explores the sentimental and environmental forces which trap an individual in this abyss. The novel grapples with the message that drone attacks give rise to anger, revenge and hate. And anything that fuels any of these emotions cannot really tackle terrorism. This novel also discusses the contributing factors to the recent surge in terrorism which continue to be illiteracy, joblessness and oppressive and corrupt regimes.  Bullets and Train is set in the backdrop of Afghan War. The Taliban and Al-Qaeda steal a tactical nuclear bomb and agencies of four countries have to work together to track it before it is used in a terrorist plot. A US soldier is kidnaped by the Taliban from Afghanistan and held captive in Pakistan. In the meanwhile a train is hijacked in Singapore as part of a mega-terrorist plot.  ---------------------------********************--------------------------- Review: Pros: 1) Excellent Pace; 2) Wonderful Story; and 3) Told from a perspective based on ground realities Cons: 1) English; and 2) English
