Customer Reviews

An exciting read

This book at times, was roughly worded and a couple of the characters were not believable (too perfect). That being said, I could not put it down! Action was fast moving and the plot twisted enough to keep me curious throughout the book. I found some of the methods used by the bad guys to have come from one heck of a creative mind or from someone who has an insider's information. The plot is believable, I'm glad there are books like this. For a new writer, Binkley did a good job and I hope he continues to write more in this style. I'll buy again.

Fiction but don't think it couldn't happen!

This well researched account of terror beyond imagination is a riveting read from cover to cover. I assure you, you won't want to put this one down.

Captured and Captivated

This is an exceptionally well written and entertaining book...and that is #1 on my list of importance for a good Read. I was captured and captivated by this fast paced story that doesn't give you time to breathe from start to finish. The plot is so opportunistic and sly that it is almost scary. It drew me in as if I was there: seeing, feeling, experiencing the action...the plot was ALIVE! Mr. Binkley has a good ear for dialog and I liked the tone of the conversations; from the workplace "we're casual here but I'm the boss," the joshing between colleagues who like each other, the dialogue between people who aren't crazy about each other, the dry "just the facts" style of the FBI, to that all important patter between friends and lovers that keep a plot alive. Even Gene's (in the book) muttering to himself, his self-justifications and grousing, sounds natural. Unlike many other books I have read with implausible sounding dialogue, Mr. Binkley's dialogue is real. Being a self proclaimed bookaholic, I was fortunate to support myself in Graduate School by proofreading books of all genre for a publishing company, therefore, I truly am amazed at how error free this first publication of al-Qaeda Strikes Again is. Kudos to Mr. Binkley's editor. Being an author (ghost writer) for several biographies and self- help books, I'm sensitive to layout and readability so I immediately noticed the extra attention to the easily readable font and the extra spacing between paragraphs. I recommend this action packed work of fiction (or is it???) to anyone that wants to be entertained.

Binkley Strikes Back

Will terrorists strike the U.S. again? Experts say yes. Will we stop them? Maybe. Bill Binkley's debut thriller, "al-Queda Strikes Again," challenges America's top analysts and FBI agents to solve that problem. Failure is not an option. "al-Qaeda Strikes Again" reminds me a lot of Frederick Forsyth's first novel, "The Day of the Jackal" (one of my all-time favorites). Forsyth's police Inspector Claude Lebel and the "old boys' network" of foreign intelligence and police contacts must stop the assassination of French president, Charles de Gaulle, without knowing who, when, where or how. In Binkley's book, it's the Jackal times twenty. Twenty U.S. cities are targeted for catastrophe that will make 9/11 pale in comparison and all U.S. intelligence has is the list of cities. It will take everything that crack analyst Rennie Jordon and Special Agent Wayne Kelly and their teams can figure out and do to stop the devastation from happening. The book has flaws, but these never stop "al-Qaeda Stikes Again" from beating a rhythmic tattoo (like the theme from "Jaws") toward an exciting, page-flipping, it-could-happen climax.

An action-packed, fast-paced terrorism thriller

At JFK International Airport, Code Red security alert is decreed when a person leaves her purse at customs before fleeing; she kills herself in a bathroom; the Feds followup the info on her Greek passport that affirms what they suspec:t Safia Makhdoom is a bogus name. A few months later in Phoenix, Muusa Gandapaur is panic stricken having had his passport lifted at the airport. Still he becomes Arthur Bradley and begins his life in Arizona by sending a letter to Denmark. In Islamabad, Pakistan CIA Station Chief Jerry Moses has hit a wall in his inquiries into Makhdoom when an informant tells him of a training camp north of Peshawar attended by Safia, Yusaf Hussani and others. He finds a paper with a list of names and places that he believes means something big and nasty is coming to America as twenty cities including Cherry Hill where Hussani bragged he would be appear. Wayne Kirby is put in charge of a counterterrorism task force that includes his kick butt girlfriend Rennie Jordon to prevent al-Qaeda from striking again. This is only part of the opening chapter of what is an action-packed, fast-paced terrorism thriller that accelerates as readers await a confrontation between the Feds and al-Qaeda if the dots are connected and the government leaders listen to the troops on the ground. As corpses flood Dallas where NSA has forwarded Jerry's list, multiple subplots across American and in Pakistan keeps readers on edge wondering what next and how they connect. Bill Binkley provides an exhilarating one sitting thriller (not sure how he kept track with so much happening, but he does throughout) that will shake the audience as the terrorist multiple schemes seems plausible.
