Book Description

June 2, 2005
A story ripped from today’s headlines, NASA scientist Randy Brown must rescue his 5-year-old son from terrorists in central India. Looming in the background is the ongoing tension between India and Pakistan, both countries recently equipped with nuclear weapons.

Amy Edwards, lovely, intelligent, but down on her luck with the men in her life fights to help Randy recover his son, and finds her self in the middle of a war.

Zak Richardson, an aging black pilot and unassuming hero may be the only key to the trio’s escape when twelve nuclear tipped missiles arc grimly into the air toward India. Pakistan has activated “Ghauri’s Sword,” their nuclear missile defense system, and Randy, his son, Amy and Zak are right in the crosshairs.

This review is from: Ghauri's Sword (Paperback)
I loved this book, I could not put it down. If you are an aviation professional or enthusiast this is the book for you! If you just want a good thrill read, don't miss Ghauri's Sword. This is a novel that puts you right there with the characters on the plane and in India. You root for the heroes and damn the villains. I am anxiously awaiting the next novel from this creative author.

5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't Put It Down, January 20, 2006
This review is from: Ghauri's Sword (Paperback)
An exciting read until the last page. Sylvester has proven his ability to write compelling human drama that doesn't rely upon simple chills and thrills to make you turn the page. Sylvester's writing style is direct, vivid and action-oriented. It was exciting and a delight to read this book. I read it in two nights. Couldn't put it down. The settings are described in enough detail to bring them alive, but without excess like many books I've struggled through and the characters are strong, especially the hero, Randy, and the main villian; but even some of the minor characters create a real impact. Randy is a talented and smart individual whose love for his son and wanting to save him from harm takes him half way across the world into some tense, dramatic situations. Ghauri's Sword is a great modern adventure story, full of excitement, romance, intrigue, and fun. I highly recommend this book. I'll be reading everything Sylvester writes.
