A Gripping and Prophetic Adventure

Once I began reading this book, I couldn't put it down. It pulls you through harrowing experiences, terrorists carrying out sadistic attacks on innocent civilians, and threatening to initiate a nuclear war if their demands to take over the government of Turkey are not met within 5 days. Then TALON Force, a special forces group of 6 men and 2 women are sent to locate the group and eliminate the danger. The novel is filled with violent action, the latest weaponry and technology, suspense, tension and danger. It is amazingly prophetic in that it mentions Omar bin Laden as one of the terrorist group's sponsors, even though the book was published before Sept. 11, 2001! A bonus: the views of various parts of Turkey and Turkish culture. Fascinating. A good read.
