This review is from: Enemy of My Enemy (Paperback)

I was afraid that Enemy of My Enemy would give me nightmares, but I am thrilled that I faced my fears and dove in. I couldn't put it down! Mr. Murray has created a realistic story that makes you want to jump ahead to see how it all ends at the same time you want to go back and reread a page to make sure that you didn't miss anything. Rarely do I have time to sit down and enjoy a good book, and I am glad that I used my reading time to enjoy this new author's first offering. I hope he has more exciting stories to share.

The riveting plot for Mr. Murray's book could have been taken directly from the shadow world of our intelligence agencies. His attention to the smallest details made the story line completely plausible and is something that is often not found in similar type military thrillers. Mr. Murray's characters have been brought to life expertly and are as real and you or me. I am looking forward to his next book!

4.0 out of 5 stars Could be Non-fiction, May 2, 2008

This review is from: Enemy of My Enemy (Paperback)

Enemy of My Enemy is a fabulous new novel by an inventive author who created a piece of fiction that very well, in my opinion, could be non-fiction. Once through the first fifty pages of character and plot building, I could not stop myself from continuing to devoror this novel. I loved how Alan Murray unfolded an insight to the culture of Cuba, the variety of characters and their job positions defending our country, and the possible terrorist attack on the United States that could very well happen today. I highly recommend this book and look forward to more of his literature!
