Customer Reviews

Middle East political thriller is a great read.

I thought The Desert Contract was a great read. I'm not a professional reviewer, just a reader of books. To me, the book was intriguing and spellbinding - I didn't want to put it down. The story takes place in the Middle East, principally in Saudi Arabia. Because I previously worked in Saudi Arabia, the novel was even more interesting to me, because of my familiarity with locations, companies,lifestyles, cultures and politics. John Lathrop, the author, worked in Saudi Arabia at various times and at various jobs - teaching, computers etc. - all the while, in his free time, writing this engaging suspense novel. I highly recommend it!
