Craig Thompson's Omar is a suspenseful and thrilling novel of escalating global terrorism. When a priceless book is found 2077 fathoms under the North Atlantic Ice Barrier, the CIA/FBI, a private billionaire oilman, and a fanatic terrorist group compete to recover and claim it. The competition has potentially cataclysmic effects for the known world. Omar is a shocking, action-packed, highly recommended page-turner filled with suspense and plot twists to the end. Omar is also available in paperback (0967520722, [price])

I enjoyed the book. The energy and depth of the story was exciting and well worth the price. I recommend it!

If you want a thriller that keeps you reading and makes you bite your nails, this is it! Craig Thompson's book has all the classic elements including engaging good guys, very nasty bad guys and some serious threats along the way. His writing style is very readable and the plot is all too plausible given today's world.

Well worth the time to read... and reread! Tom Clancy, move over... this guy knows his stuff!

I purchased this book from the author at a bookfair here in
Indianapolis and am amazed at the topic of the book and
the current WTC attacks.

Many parts of the book included sections that would match
what is happening in the headlines today and found that very
interesting.

Particularly liked the ending regarding the ocean (won't say
much more since it'll give some of the book away). Didn't know
that could happened and found it very interesting reading.

I received a copy of this novel from the author while standing in Rockefeller Center with the rest of the world who wished to show their signs on the Today Show. I was travelling on business and found the book to be perfect for my purposes. Lots of action broken up into three minute or so reads. It was easy to pick up and put down, and it always kept my attention. I would describe the book as a cross between Clive Cussler and Tom Clancy (without an overwhelming amount of technical jargon). It is a great escape.
