Summary: Wickedly Scary...........
Review: The scary part of this novel is not being able to tell fiction from truth. My first accessment of the book was a Christian Fiction novel, based on military practices and policies and functions. Throw in Oliver North, a true hero, both writing and appearing in the novel, and your mind can really play tricks on you, telling you that some of the things you are reading are not all that "fictional".

The Christianity and sound gospel doctrine in this book added a nice warmth to the story. I enjoy good novels with well-written doctrine intrinsic to the theme of the story and while this story would have been nice without it, it would not have been the same, nor would this novel be as popular, in my opinion.

My vote if for this book to turn into a series, going beyond the boundaries of "trilogy" that so many writers seem to halt at these days. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I will be both reading The Jericho Sanction and recommending this book to my friends!

Mr North, Thank you for the fascinating, too-close-for-comfort, tale!

Summary: Gripping
Review: You'll notice I'm not male and yet I loved this book. It is an excellent book to spend time reading. A good story, very likable characters, and an accurate depiction of the political scene (I can personally vouch for it). It's suspenseful and loaded with superb plot twists. So what's the big deal that North launched a few well deserved jabs at those in high places. Not altogether undeserving given what we know. Christian themes are deeply rooted in many Marines lives (personal knowledge hereagain). And what are we expecting here, remember it is a work of fiction. Take it as that and enjoy yourself. This is a tremendous effort and well worth reading.
