Disclaimer: Mark Seymour is a long-time friend of mine. In spite of that obvious bias, I think this is a balanced review.
Mark's tale of a small U.S. embassy taken over by terrorists is the equal of any from Tom Clancy or Robert Ludlum. His thriller is expertly told, well-paced, and very well written. His obvious research into Arabic and Islamic culture is evident. The ending had me up until two in the morning to finish it.
If you like this genre, I highly recommend this book. It is available only from Amazon. See http://www.amazon.com/Embassy-Down-Ma...
