This is a must-read that is so relative to today's world climate. A great story about a wealthy Algerian living in France who gives the appearance of helping poor North Africans living there, but it takes a New York reporter to discover this man is really a terrorist who is hell bent on destroying major landmarks in Paris. The reporter, together with an embassy officer and a female Muslim flight attendant, all go through hell trying to stop him - and they take the reader on a suspense-filled, cat and mouse chase across a desert and later on an unforgettable roller-coaster ride through the streets of Paris. I feel as though I've visited the City of Lights myself now, having seen it through the vivid descriptions of the author who obviously lived there. Make sure you have a lot of time to read when you start this book as I guarantee you won't be able to put it down until it's finished!

When I looked up E.E. Hunt after reading Paris Under Siege I found this statement on his web site."My intention in writing both "Paris Under Siege "is to help people understand more about the issue of human slavery, particularly in regard to the way some Muslim women are treated as well as those who are kidnapped through the terrible scourge of human trafficking "His book definitely brought to light this topic in an interesting and entertaining manner.
This book leads us along with Penny, a reporter and her friend Charles as they track Aboud, a terrorist, who posed as a wealthy, but benevolent Algerian in France who pretended to help poor Africans in the Paris suburbs. Charles discovers that this man is, in fact, an Islamic terrorist hiding munitions in the Sahara desert, with the target being Paris, the chase begins. Paris comes alive in this book as we see through the eyes of Mr. Hunts who lived and worked in France. This is a book for the times in which we are now living; it enables us to see the many faces of the terrorists walking among us.
Enjoy this book, it will lead you on quite an adventure!!
