Rating:  Summary: Presidential Pardon, Fact or Fiction? Review: Presidential Pardon By Raghav SinghRaghav Singh takes seemingly unrelated news events from recent history and weaves them into a fiction that is difficult to tell from fact. The excellent writing leads us into personal relationships and a search for truth that leaves violent consequences in its path. The ramifications of the seemingly unrelated events, and the related events as revealed in the fiction, lead the reader to ask questions which seemingly cannot be answered. But answered they are, as the tale reaches an amazing and logical conclusion. This book is in the tradition of Tom Clancy and Ken Follet in Singh's ability to take ordinary events and to weave them into an extraordinary tale. Singh's ability to paint the portrait of the characters is uncanny and he keeps the characters true to the form he has given them right up to the amazing end of this thrilling novel.
Rating:  Summary: Great political thriller Review: This is a well written and fast paced novel. I finished it over a weekend. Quite honestly, it was hard to put down. The plot involves a journalist's quest to uncover the truth of George Bush's (Senior) involvement in the Iran-Contra scandal. Those of us who remember it knew then that his claims about not knowing anything about it had to be a lie. The author resurrects the scandal in some detail and presents it as the background to an excellent story with a very compelling plot. I have to wonder if this story is entirely fictional. There are elements of it that make a lot of sense in terms of what occurred before and after the scandal broke. Frankly, some of it's scary if true. Overall, this is an excellent read with a very compelling plot. There's a twist at the end that no one could every predict, but which like parts of the story is very real. Again, I have to question that this is just fiction.
Rating:  Summary: Great suspense and intrigue! Review: What a great tale of political intrigue from this first-time author! Like Steve Reardon, I found myself believing that this telling was probably closer to the truth than anything we read in the press at the time of the Iran Contra Affair. Singh does a great job building suspense and keeping the reader hanging. I had a hard time putting the book down. A most engaging read!
