GOG
After her husband Nick goes missing in Egypt, sheltered art curator Carina Wilde flies out to find him in a land devastated by a man-made flood. Stumbling upon the secrets he uncovered, she becomes a fugitive pursued by despots, religious fanatics, looters and occupying powers. Her only allies are an ex-gigolo, an orphan scavenging the ruins of Cairo, and a Suez bar-girl whose relationship with Nick is just one of the questions Carina is forced to confront...
"A dark satire for an age when the righteous and ruthless shape our world, Gog – an End Time Mystery is written with a rare insight into Egyptian life, Middle Eastern geopolitics, and disinformation."
The language is rich, humorous and vivid. The plot is so ‘topical and possible’. The author has a good ’smell’ for the anxieties/paranoia’s/ ambitions, which exist amongst the Arab States, Israelis and all the rest of the Muslim/ Christian brotherhood!

An amazing idea for a story, but in some ways there could be so much more that the book dealt with. Saying that, the characters and the journeys they had were interesting and the political issues were dealt with well.
