Some men would rather destroy something than lose it to someone else. Those men are amongst the most dangerous of men. This novel captures the observation of one such man, and the destruction he is willing to wrought, quite well.
I genuinely did not, based on the jacket blurb, expect to enjoy this book. What a fantastic surprise.
For me, this novel read like the first season of an amazing new HBO series - dark, with a sense of forboding because you know something bad is going to happen, but you just don't know quite when. A series of well-drawn characters makes you invest early and deeply in the outcome of the tale. And when the bomb explodes, you feel the shockwaves down to your very bones.
I did not want to put this one down. I am absolutely looking forward to this author's next work. Definitely recommended.
