Navy Lieutenant Lee Toliver, known as Igor in Navy Special Warfare, Delta Force, and JSOC, was a language savant, a man whose brain was wired by nature in such a way that he picked up languages as easily as most people pick up bad habits. Give him a month immersed in a culture and language and he could hold a conversation like a native and absorb enough culture to move through a town or village without being noticed. After a tour supporting SEAL Teams in Afghanistan and Iraq, Igor was recruited into a select JSOC deep-cover organization called Black Wolf that specialized in human and signals intelligence where he spent three years infiltrating Middle Eastern and North African Muslim towns and cities locating and targeting high value targets. In Black Wolf Humint Squadron, with men who make their living by infiltrating enemy strongholds, Igor learned the arcane arts of disguise, legend building, deception, infiltration, surveillance, targeting, and silent killing. His advanced field training took place in the most demanding crucible possible, real infiltration into enemy strongholds, and like all successful crucibles, it produced something entirely new. For the enemy he hunted, Igor became a poison pill who looked like them, spoke like them, worshipped like them, and thought like them. In uniform, he was Lieutenant Lee Toliver and subject to military law. Under cover, he was Hassan the insurgent and subject to shariah law. When he hunted terrorists though, he was Igor and subject only to Igor’s Law.
Excellent and high suspense thriller. The way our author moves the action through all of the different scenarios kept me on the edge of my seat. I hated to stop reading.
Pullse-quickening action, stunning knowlege of the Quran/muslim habits/psychology. Great character developement, too. While a touch long, I enjoyed every page.
R.H. Pyle is an accomplished story teller, it is hard to put his books away after you begin reading the story... His wisdom with with so many cultures make you live in the story... I gots Law is one of these stories taking place in Afghanistan. I thought the start was a bit slow but when it got into the meat of it I was captured in the flow and reality of the story and unable to put it down until I was finished...
