Interesting Twist

Great book, it is not often that an author can come up with such a comprehensive book as this on his first try. This had it all, a great story, good characters, wonderful action and a quick pace. This is an exciting book that at its heart is a conspiracy theory. Ok the story is almost not believable, but if you close one eye and get into it you will have fun. The taking of the whole East vs. West story line and throwing in cult like clan was very interesting. Each time I was ready for a plot twist, action or drama it was there. The characters just explode in your memory - you do not get them out of your head. The ending was also a good one - you are expecting something close but the author has come up with something better. I was a little disappointed in the love story, it seemed forced, almost like the publisher said the book would sell better with the love story. Overall, this was a great effort.

Truly a great thriller. Best read in a long time.

This is a great thriller. I just wonder when the movie is coming out.
