Excellent book, one of the best books I have read.
This is a very good book! It is definitely worth your time in reading. Get it and you will not regret it. One of my favorite parts is where they were escaping in the chopper and it goes down and he is with his family. They almost do not survive they are clinging together and barely holding on to life. It reminds you how important family and faith is.

Fantastic!
One of your very best! Although, I think I say that about all your books. Fast moving, exciting, hold your breath moments, scary and then there's love. People risking their life for strangers. Why? Because they are fellow believers and have put their lives in the good Lord's Hands. Great. Great. Great. A must read. Thank you for your excellent, inspiring work. God bless you.

Another excellent book by D.I. Telbat
Leaving your family at home to help a person who is a Christian who is a prisoner in another country and realizing your family was kidnapped because the bad guys are after you and rescuing them as well as the Christian in a hostile place is not easy for anyone. Exciting story.

Great story and characters
Hope to hear more from the Arabian Variable in the future. I enjoyed this book much better than God's Colonel which came just before this book, both as standalone novels.

Held in Suspense
I enjoyed the twists and turns of this page turner. Had me guessing the direction of this story line which never seemed to go where I thought it would. After reading most of Telbats books how did I miss one of his first before the C.O.I.L. Series.

Non stop action!
I can't get enough of Telbats storys. It is so hard to find Christian books with this much suspense. Great chatactures.
