Tariq-Ol Qods: The Road to Jerusalem

Rating:
Summary: Can't wait for Haynes's next book!
Review: I heard from a friend this is Haynes's first novel. If this is true, I can't wait for his next book! Like Haynes, I too served in the mideast. His discriptions of the deserts and the Lebanese mountains brought back memories!
This story is a kind of different twist about the Arabs than I expected. I was stunned by who the real antagonists in the story turned out to be. I was very surprised by the ending. This isn't a story that's easy to out guess before you're done reading it!
I liked it. It started off a bit slow, but then really picked up pace till the end.

Summary: Rate Tariq-ol Qods
Review: What was really neat about this book is the woman hero, Karen Anthony. I like her! She's not some trumped up supergorgeous superwoman like in most books. She's a real person. I was in Lebanon too once. The way Haynes describes the battles in the hills and the setting sun on the Lebanese mountains brought chilling memories back to me! I really enjoyed the feeling of actually being there again! I could practically see the massive tank armies rumbling across the desert!
For a first time writer, Haynes does a really good job presenting this conspiracy. I can actually see this happening. I hope his next book is coming out real soon!
