The plot of William Reed's crime novel Endgame, which is a thriller, is about the behaviour of extremist factions inside the global Al-Qaida organization. This book also educates readers on the conflict between Israel and the Palestinian states.

Al-Qaeda is suspected of carrying out the recent suicide bombings, according to recent news reports. Plans and efforts have been made in an attempt to stop this issue from escalating, but to no effect; it still exists. Nathaniel Jameson, deputy chief of mission at the American embassy in London, devised a plan to enter the Al-Qaeda headquarters and destroy the group from within because he thinks that this is the best method to resolve the issue and permanently stop terrorism. According to Nathaniel's strategy, the president must be exploited as bait. What will happen next? Will Nathaniel be successful?

I thought this book's narrative was thrilling, and the author's word choice made it simple for me to follow along. I didn't have to look up terms to comprehend any specific sentence, which made it easy for me to get into the book's flow, which I found to be quite satisfying. I also like how educational this book was, as I learned about the beginnings of the Al-Qaeda group. Another aspect of the book that piqued my attention was the author's depiction of the characters; it was fascinating and well-detailed. Because of how engaging and enlightening it is, you'll want to read it again once you've finished it. It was pretty enjoyable to read.

The idea that a two-day fighting course would be sufficient to disarm terrorists with years of training bothered me, as did the ease with which Nat was able to enter the Al-Qaeda headquarters. The author should have done better, at least coming up with a surprise that would pique readers' interest. The headquarters have been underground for years, and I feel that that section of the novel was presented in a very ridiculous way. These are the only issues I have with this book.

Apart from the fact that it was a fantastic read with an intriguing narrative and I didn't find any errors in this book, I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars because I felt the author was sort of lazy with the narrative. I recommend this book to people who want to learn more about terrorism and crime. The book was also exceptionally well-edited.
