El Kudz, as Arabs call Jerusalem, is, from a certain distance, as they also call it, shellabi kabir. Extremely beautiful. Beautiful upon a mountain. El Kudz means The City, and in a certain sense it is that, to unnumbered millions of people. Ludicrous, uproarious, dignified, pious, sinful, naïvely confidential, secretive, altruistic, realistic. Hoary-ancient and ultra-modern. Very, very proud of its name Jerusalem, which means City of Peace. Full to the brim with the malice of certainly fifty religions, fifty races, and five hundred thousand curious political chicaneries disguised as plans to save our souls from hell and fill some fellow's purse. The jails are full. "Look for a man named Grim," said my employer. "James Schuyler Grim, American, aged thirty-four or so. I've heard he knows the ropes." The ropes, when I was in Jerusalem before the war, were principally used for hanging people at the Jaffa Gate. . . .

Super Reader,
By Blue Tyson "- Research Finished" (Legion clubhouse) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jimgrim and Allah's Peace (Paperback)
Jimgrim is Major James Schuyler Grim. He is in Jerusalem, and is doing his heroic best to keep a lid on things. With all the factions and religions and races floating around the place, he definitely has his hands full. Enlisting the aid of an amateur or two, he wants to stop a nut that possesses a large amount of TNT before he destroys something historic.
