From School Library Journal
YA A timely novel of terrorist action that proceeds toward the hoped-for conclusion with many diversions. The political ins and outs of dealing with terrorists complicates the theme. Relationships between nations, heads of state, commanders, and non-coms are explored in a realistic manner that adds excitement and suspense. Individual characterizations provide insight into each of the characters' natures and societal relationships. Although a long novel, it is never tiresome. Gail Stubblefield, Westbury Christian School, Houston, Tex.
