This novel has all the makings of a decent story, a disgraced journalist clawing his way back, a soft-hearted colleague who maintains a rough exterior for cover, and a story line that would, one think, have best-seller status written all over it.
Sadly, the writing falls flat and the story line because trite and worse, unbelievable. The author(s) needed to spend more time developing not only their plot, but their characters. A real disappointment.

This plot of this poorly constructed thriller can be figured out from reading the liner notes. Each chapter is a cliffhanger and setup for the next destination, as the protagonist and his obligatory girlfriend hop around Europe and the Middle East in chase of Arab Terrorists who have teamed up with White Supremicists in Colorado to assinate a presidential candidate who wants to turn off Saudi Arabian oil. A pleasant way to pass a free hours on the train, but wholly unoriginal and uninspired, obviously written by the Ghostwriter. Poor Jack Anderson will not be remembered for this one.
