A young man starts a journey from a dusty village in Saudi Arabia. He believes it will end with his death in faraway England. If his mission succeeds, he will go to his god a martyr - and many innocents will die with him.
For David Banks, an armed protection officer charged with neutralising the growing menace to London's safety, his role is not as clear-cut as it once was. The certainties which ruled his thinking are no longer black and white.
Banks has begun to realise that one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. Never have those distinctions been more dangerous to a police officer with his finger on the trigger - and to those who depend upon him...

Thought provoking
06/02/2009
Gerald Seymour always grabs and holds my attention - particularly when well-read as in this case. However, particularly topical was the way in which this novel made me think (and go on thinking) about issues such as the nature of bravery, one man's terrorist is another man's freedom-fighter and yet another's mercenary, and what is permissable in interrogation. In a way, this provided the illustrations to Niall Fergusson's The War of the World to which I was listening in parallel.

Disappointing for me.

I bought this audiobook on the basis of other reviews, but I must have got a different book. It is read well enough, but part of the problem for me is that it is too topical. I am weary of hearing the stories of suicide bombers and the measures sometimes illegal, taken in order to catch them on the news etc. I turn of such reports on TV, do I really want to hear more about them? An attempt to maintain the readers/listeners attention is made by too much sex, and sorry, but it does not help.
Haunting
05/12/2009
There are numerous characters and a variety story lines which although initially confusing do slowly converge. One can guess from the outset what the ultimate conclusion will be, but the journey taken by the priciples characters as they face their moral dilemas is haunting. Well worth persevering with.
