Official Review: Boston Burning by Eric Salin

[starshipsaga]

Out of curiosity, how is a terrorist on the cusp of retirement? I'm imagining him godfather style turning away crime syndicates in his office. "Sorry boys, I'm out of the game. You'll have to pay someone else to wreak your havoc."

Actually, you got it pretty much right! The bad guy wanted to hang it up and disappear with a huge chunk of money, though inevitably things got personal. The chapters from his POV were always kind of disturbing, because he was such a focused, impenetrable character.

This book reminds me of why I used to love watching 24. I love the examination of human nature that the premise allows for and it forces the readers to conduct a debate within themselves about heavy issues - those "gray areas" you referred to. No matter what side of these issues someone is on, these kinds of stories are hard to put down. Great review!

Oh you sooo beat me to the punch with this comment! It reminded me of 24 also! Great show, great premise.
And yes-great review!

A gripping and well-executed thriller about terrorism is just my sort of book! The morality of how much to restrict personal freedoms in order to protect the general populace adds an interesting extra element to the story. Excellent review.

good review about the suspense thriller book about well educated smart terrorist named Hassan Bucheri and his KGB training which seems author has picked nice cherries to craft his characters and makes it more interesting to read
thank you
