I was given this book as a gift by John, because I lived next door to him and he knew my love for reading. Truth be told, it was a better gift than he probably expected. The pace and story telling were engaging, and I found myself turning page after page. Chances are you've probably never heard of him or this book, but if you have the opportunity to pick it up and read it I absolutely encourage you to do so. Apr 27, Dori Gehling rated it it was amazing. I love when a book is so good that as soon as it's over you look to see if the author has published another novel you can read right away.

This was one of those books. Not only did it have enough action and intrigue to keep my interest, I was able to learn more about a part of the world I'd not been exposed to much.

And the author has the credentials to back up his story line. Looking forward to his next book. Mar 01, Warregl rated it it was amazing Shelves: I met the author of this book, John Fenzel at a book signing in Richmond, VA a couple of Saturdays ago we talked about weight loss and being something men. However when I read about John's background as he was discussing his book with a few other patrons I decided to stop and buy it, primarily as a "thank you" for his service. After meeting him I was doubly sure I wanted to buy his book.

He I met the author of this book, John Fenzel at a book signing in Richmond, VA a couple of Saturdays ago we talked about weight loss and being something men. He was honestly interested in meeting the people he spoke with, me included. His interest in what I do and who I am was obviously genuine. All that said I did not expect to find a book that I would be comparing to the early work of Tom Clancy.

And even that doesn't seem fair. I absolutely love it. It's one of the best international thrillers I've read in a very long time. Recently I have been struggling to find books that I really connect with. Maybe it's stress, maybe it's middle age, or maybe I just read so much that it is getting harder to find work that is both entertaining and engaging. This book is both. I will be in line for his next book the very day it is released.

If John le Carre were to visit the Balkans, this is the kind of thriller he would produce. And this author is no armchair commando. Fenzel, a special operations officer in the U.
