Entertaining and suspensful reading

Certainly enjoyed reading The Jericho Sanction. I thought at first that it was just a "guy" book but after reading it felt that men and women would enjoy it too. Even after skipping some of the military information, the book was a good read with enough character development to keep the reader interested and concerned. The ending certainly was a lead in into the next book, and I look forward to reading it too. I have already passed this book along to a friend.

Excellent book with very realistic characters

I really enjoyed the book -- I didn't want to get interrupted once I started reading it. Ollie North realistically depicts the characters -- be it a US marine, an Israeli counter-terrorism expert, or a former KGB general, as well as the politician of the time of the book (though none referred by name) -- the Prime Minister of Israel, the Secretary of State, or the President caught in the midst of a sex scandal. It is also nice to read the book where the character is a US marine written by a Hero US Marine, a decorated war veteran, who can relate on the personal level what exactly is going through the mind of the main character. I also found the book very informative in many ways, both from Colonel North's explanations throughout the text and by the glossary of terms and abbreviations used throughout the book, provided in the beginning of the book (e.g., names of Israeli units such as Sayeret Duvdevan etc.). Enjoy this fantastic read!

Better than the (good) first book, Mission Compromised

Excellent thriller based on more history and fact than fiction, a la Clancy. Well researched (experienced) book is a "page turner."North just gets better with each book. No "dead spots." You'll get your money's worth. Very entertaining.

Five Stars for "The Jericho Sanction".

I read very little fiction but this book and his previous book, "Mission Compromised" captured my interest immediately. I was just compelled to "read on". Oliver North has put reality into fiction form. "The Jericho Sanction" is an easy read and should be on everyones "must read" list. It's a real pleasure to recommend this book.Donald W.

A Look Into the Mystery of War

This follow up book to Mission Compromised is not just for men, women readers will enjoy this gem of a mystery book also. Even though the author touches on the war, the book gives you a look into the mystery of a tale of the two different lives of Peter Newman. It is uncanney how the current events of today were written about in this book before they happened. This easy to read book would make a wonderful gift for the occasional reader as well as the avid reader.
