I am about halfway through it and would say it is probably DeMille’s best so far. It poses some really interesting moral dilemmas in the form of a thriller. Demille’s comments in the preface are REALLY something, if you listen closely. If you like the characters of John Corry and Kate Mayfield from some of his other novels, you’ll like this one. They are operating pretty much alone, because, as usual, John doesn’t trust his superiors.
Good story so far, the resolution will determine my final grade.

Thanks, I just reread the preface to refresh my memory.

Very interesting, (I’m hoping the overall premise does not include an overemphasis on a “corrupt” American government), instead of getting the bad guys.
Those stories are always fun, but tiresome now, imho.

Maybe its my mood, (lol, bloodthirsty for revenge), for all the decades of suicide bombings of the Islamic cults. But moral dilemmas in this fight are very real, especially for a great nation like the USA, who also has such enormous military power that must be used wisely.
