I got this as a Klout perk so I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but I really enjoyed it. This is a solid thriller: super spies, terrorists, conspiracies, the whole works. It's probably not something I would have picked up on my own, so I'm really glad I got the perk. My only caveat was that it felt a little pro-American/anti-Muslim, at least at the beginning, but 1) I'm probably reading too much into a book that's solidly in the thriller genre and 2) in the end, no country was painted in a particularly pleasant light so I'm not sure my criticism is even valid. It's cinematic and scary -- I don't know how well researched the premise if this novel is, but I'm not sure I want to know -- and I felt like the author's Hollywood background comes through in a positive way. Although there was a solid ending, I felt like there were also tendrils that could indicate a second book (or more?). If so, I'm in!
