DAVID ALEXANDER
The
ability to write remarkable thriller fiction that reads
astonishingly like a narration of an actual event taken from a breaking
international news story, the power to weave a tale enthralling enough
to catch the reader up in a world of thriller fantasy whose hold is hard
or impossible to break until after the last sentence of the final
chapter is read, the mastery of countless details of characterization,
dialog, plot and the intricate arts of cutting-edge defense technology
and 21st century military affairs and strategy, is a rare combination of
literary gifts.
Yet all of these singular attributes are to be
found in GOOGLE WAR by author David
Alexander. The story, as the title states, centers on an assault on
America's main symbol of military power. But the thriller's plot also
spans the globe as the ramifications of what those who have occupied and
taken control of the Pentagon have done become more clear as the
cleverly devised plot continues to unfold.
Before its conclusion,
the action of the book takes us from the nation's Capital to the
far-flung corners of the earth, where, after more than our fair share of
unexpected twists and turns of plot and some of the finest action
scenes ever written, we're treated to the climax of a lifetime.
I
won't spoil the fun by giving away the plot, but I can certainly
promise some riveting thriller reading for all true action fans.
