Matt's War [Versión Kindle]

She is a recruiter with the CIA. He's a cell phone repairman. South East Asia is a hotbed for Islamic terrorists. Can they find happiness? Nah in spite of the direct quote from the book it's not that kind of story. It's about a couple of business men who travel extensively through out South East Asia. In there travels they bump up against terrorists engage in a 9-11style high jacking. This is the story of the retaliation caused by thwarting the take over.
It's all good fun and pretty well written, nothing's quite over the top and the characters are engaging.

Two engineers find themselves in the middle of a terrorist attack and it sends them spiraling down a path they would have otherwise avoided.

This was a book that captured my attention, I followed the plot hoping for a happy ending and praying that the ruthless bad guys would be stopped. The author covers alot of ground in this book that would be of interest to many, from terrorists motivations and their demented (often simple) way of thinking, intelligence ops and recruitment, International affairs, SAS/special force and even to a small degree Laser Tag training. It was evident that the author did his research and he was able to incorporate realistic strategies and tactics into a fictitious story.

I found the two main characters; George and Matt, to be a little over the top at first. They were somewhat flippant and sarcastic in their demeanor and they showed characteristics that I thought would work against them under such circumstances. However, their courage and belief system made up for what they lacked in diplomacy and over time they grew on me. I gave them them the benefit of the doubt by the end of the book.

If you like non-stop action and enjoy a classic battle of good vs evil, then this is the book for you.

Matt's War is a thrilling account of two engineers who get tangled in a terrorist plot. The action kicks off at the very opening of the book and the intricate plot continues to unfold until the very last page of the book. The author's ability to put together such a complex plot while ensuring the book remains an addictive page-turner is an impressive accomplishment.

One of the book's highlights is the fact that the author presents us with both the heroes' and terrorists' perspective throughout. This allows the book to avoid oversimplifying the complex geo-political affairs behind the book's plot and enable the author to convey a complex and electrifying story.

As the book comes to its gripping conclusion, it is clear that the author has the potential for a series of books based on the adventures of these two terrorist-fighting engineers - I look forward to the next book.

This is a must read book for fans of high-octane thrillers.
