Gripping!! If you like the television series "24", you'll like this!

From the very first pagragraphs, a heart-breaking prologue detailing the horrifying ugliness of Algeria's recent battles between government forces and Islamists, the reader is drawn into a tense story of moves and counter-moves as ex-terrorist Pascual tries to outwit Mirakl,a murky Russian-mafia-backed company whose nefarious involvement in the Algerian struggle has provoked the interest of French and Swiss secret police. Moving across Europe at a pace that will leave your daily life forgotten, Pascual's attempts at revealing the extent of Mirakl's corruption leads him to confront one of his first terrorist cohorts - who is now his deadliest enemy. "Republic of Night" reads like a primer for terrorism funding and arming - one wonders what more Martell knows, and how he knows it. The subject matter's gravity makes it a sobering read, yet it is impossible to put down. The writing brings us immediately into Pascual's dark world, and we long for him to catch a break just as we long for the hero of "24" to get some rest: not happening.
