If you were a lady, what would you do if you found yourself amidst terrorists? Rosa, a Survivor from Terrorism by Daniel J. Verin tells us the life story of Rosa Vasquez from when she was a little child. The book is full of suspense and romance.

Rosa Vasquez is a young lady born a week after her father, Tarik, died. Although she was poor, fatherless, and mocked in school, that didn't stop her from being strong and tough like her mum. As time went by, Rosa was now the Director of National Antiquities at the University of Algiers and was in charge of prehistoric rock paintings in the desert. Rosa's last expedition was to the rock paintings at Tassili N’Ajjer in the Sahara Desert before her retirement in 2013. She went with two young Algerian Ph.D. students and a young British lady. They did the work with ease that they got it done in 4 days and were ready to return to Algiers. On their way to Amenas airfield, they were attacked by terrorists. What is their fate with the terrorists? How did their survival become a reality?

‌I enjoyed many aspects of this book. The author's creative writing skill is exceptional and commendable. What I like most is how suspenseful the book is. It is intriguing and will keep readers glued to their seats till the end. The scene where Rosa, two young Algerian Ph.D. students, and a young British lady went on an expedition to Tassili N’Ajjer in the Sahara Desert is breathtaking. Their experience was both strange and terrifying.

The character development is wonderfully done. Rosa Vasquez is a beautiful, young, and lovable woman who was determined, and that fetched her a Ph.D. in ethnology at age 18 as an archaeologist. Doña Consuelo played a motherly role in the life of Rosa. She was accommodating and always available when she needed her. Another wonderful character is Carlos, a mailman. Carlos fell in love with Rosa Vasquez without minding her secrets and was there for her throughout her trying times. Readers would also enjoy how the author narrated the events. The description of events was fascinating and relatable.

I loved everything about this 142-page book. The author opened our eyes to how heartless terrorists could be. Readers would also learn to be focused, irrespective of what they go through, like the protagonist. I did not dislike anything about the book, and I found no grammatical errors in it. Hence, I am happy to rate the book 4 out of 4 stars. I highly recommend this book to those who enjoy fiction stories about terrorism, especially those with resilient female protagonists.
