As you may have noticed, 'ol Nats likes himself a good old-fashioned spy thriller. And writing in the 3rd person, apparently (which I find veeery douchey in real life but somewhat entertaining here). And I (he?) enjoyed this one quite a bit.
I think what set this work apart from the others for me was the way is was written slightly different from the norm. There are twists and turns throughout this book that you don't expect. For example, our hero is your typical American bad-ass (I swear to God, if Kid Rock sues me for using that line I will be SUPER pissed). But he is an American, Muslim, bad-ass. I think that is an interesting little touch.
I don't want to give away any more of the little nuances of the book so I'll leave it at that. Go ahead and buy it and enjoy. And, in an effort to be a shill for da man, I have even included a link below to Amazon to make it easier to buy. Hopefully someone there will notice and pay me for my consideration.
